NodeJS + Mongodb - Property hidden

I am trying to retrieve an user object from my mongodb database :

router.get('/', async (req, res) => {
  var user = await User.findOne({ _id: '5fe30ba2d8f18b353ce6c7c2' }).select('+password +token');
  // it's ok, I can display my password
  console.log(user.password);
  // I don't have my password
  console.log(user);
  res.status(200).send(user);
});

Here is my model :

const user = new mongoose.Schema({
  username: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    trim: true,
    unique: true
  },
  email: {
    type: String,
    trim: true,
    required: true,
    validate: isEmail,
    unique: true
  },
  password: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    min: 6,
    select: false
  },
  firstName: String,
  lastName: String,
  dateOfBirth: Date,
  description: String,
  city: String,
  phone: {
    type: String,
  },
  social: Social,
  timeToSpend: {
    type: String,
    enum: [
      'USER.TIME_TO_SPEND.VERY_LITTLE',
      'USER.TIME_TO_SPEND.LITTLE',
      'USER.TIME_TO_SPEND.PARTIAL',
      'USER.TIME_TO_SPEND.THREE_QUARTER',
      'USER.TIME_TO_SPEND.FULL'
    ]
  },
  isAvailable: {
    type: Boolean,
    default: false
  },
  isProfitableOnly: {
    type: Boolean,
    default: false
  },
  theme: {
    type: Number,
    default: 0
  },
  isAdmin: {
    type: Boolean,
    default: false
  },
  isConnected: {
    type: Boolean,
    default: false
  },
  isEmailConfirmed: {
    type: Boolean,
    default: false
  },
  token: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    select: false
  },
  skills: [
    {
      name: String,
      rating: {
        type: Number,
        min: 1,
        max: 5
      }
    }
  ]
}, {
  timestamps: true,
  versionKey: false
});

'token' field is not hidden but 'password' field is just hidden when I retrieve my user object.

I tried to modify my password field on the schema, I tried removing the 'select: false' property but it doesn't work either

I tried to modify my user object like that : JSON.stringify(user) but it doesn't work either

Could you help me please?

Thank you!

try this

const user = await User.findById('5fe30ba2d8f18b353ce6c7c2').select('password token');
res.status(200).send({...user._doc})
