@behzadnm99 did you find any solution for this? I am facing the same issue here.

you can rename your strategy, for example :

passport.use("local-admin", new LocalStrategy(
  function(username, password, done) {
    UserAdmin.findOne({ username: username }, function (err, user) {
      if (err) { return done(err); }
      if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
      if (!user.verifyPassword(password)) { return done(null, false); }
      return done(null, user);
    });
  }
));

passport.use("local-user", new LocalStrategy(
  function(username, password, done) {
    User.findOne({ username: username }, function (err, user) {
      if (err) { return done(err); }
      if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
      if (!user.verifyPassword(password)) { return done(null, false); }
      return done(null, user);
    });
  }
));

and in your route :

app.post('/admin/login', 
  passport.authenticate('local-admin', { failureRedirect: '/admin/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.redirect('/admin');
  });

app.post('/login', 
  passport.authenticate('local-user', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.redirect('/');
  });
