    You can use the aggregation or select method in the mongoose.

    const users = await User.find({}, {name: 1, email: 1});
or
const users = await User.find({}).select("name email");
or
const users = await User.aggregate([{"$project": {name: 1, email: 1}}]);

    You can change the default behavior at the schema definition level using the select attribute of the field:

    password: { type: String, select: false }

    Then you can pull it in as needed in find and populate calls via field selection as ‘+password’. For example:

    Users.findOne({_id: id}).select(‘+password’).exec(…);

    I use this way to save all attributes except password in another variable and then I show info.

    let {password, ...foundUser} = user.toJSON();
response.setStatus(200).setRes(foundUser);
