For some reason with my code I keep getting a "bummer returned False with correct password and True for incorrect one" I'm not seeing what I'm doing wrong. tried everything, even using != vs == and reversing the True and False booleans
from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash, check_password_hash
def set_password(User, password):
User.password = generate_password_hash('secretpass')
return User
def validate_password(User, password):
if User.password == check_password_hash(User.password, 'secretpass'):
return True
else:
return False

what happens when you try this?

# remove the (' ') from any secretpass
This will do the trick, yes?
