If I've understand you correctly, you can use mongoose pre hook in this way:

Assuming you are updating in this way (or similar):

model.update({_id:value},{$set:{yourPasswordField:"newName"}})

Then you need:

• First get if exists the value $set.yourPasswordField which means you hace updated the question in that query.
• Then, if exists, get the document updated using the same filter
• And last update the desired field.

MongooseModel.pre('update', async function () {
  // get the fields which have been updated.
  const passUpdated = this.getUpdate().$set.yourPasswordField;
  if(passUpdated){
    // Find the object using the filter in your query (i,e: {_id:value} )
    const docToUpdate = await this.model.findOne(this.getFilter());
    // Then update the value into 1 and save into DB
    docToUpdate.pass = docToUpdate.pass + 1;
    docToUpdate.save()
  }
});
