How to force_verify with Twitch Authentication Node Sample?

That example uses the passport Twitch strategy.

A brief read of the passportJS docs it seems that it doesn’t support it.

As per my example(s)

BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/blob/master/authentication/user_access_generator/nodejs/public/script.js#L28


                    scopes.push(checks[x].getAttribute('name'));
                }
            }
        }
    }

    var url = 'https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize'
        + '?client_id=' + client_id
        + '&redirect_uri=' + redirect_uri
        + '&response_type=code'
        + '&force_verify=' + force_verify
        + '&state=' + state
        + '&scope=';

    url += scopes.join('+');

    document.getElementById('auth_url_preview').textContent = url;
    document.getElementById('auth_url').setAttribute('href', url);
}
generate();

You just add force_verify=true to the URL you redirect the user to Twitch with

So

https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?client_id=MyClientID&redirect_uri=MyRredict&response_type=code&scope=SCOPES

becomes

https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?client_id=MyClientID&redirect_uri=MyRredict&response_type=code&force_verify=true&scope=SCOPES
