Passport session not updating

I'm trying to update the passport session after user info change using:

user.save(function(err) {
if (err) return next(err)
// What's happening in passport's session? Check a specific field...
console.log("Before relogin: "+req.session.passport.user.changedField)

req.login(user, function(err) {
    if (err) return next(err)

    console.log("After relogin: "+req.session.passport.user.changedField)
    res.send(200)
})
})

But even after re-login, with no errors my passport session remains the same. I have to manually logout and log back in for the session info to update. Can anyone explain what's happening?

Passport sets req.user using the function you have provided with passport.deserializeUser. You are using req.session.passport.user which is incorrect. There is no need to re-login after change of user information - deserializeUser is called on every request, and this is where you fetch the user information from your database. Then you access it via req.user.
