Treehouse Guest TeacherYou can't compare hashes that way. That's why we have check_password_hash. Also, your try: needs an except: or a finally:.

18,173 PointsBummer! Returned False for a correct password or True for an incorrect one
from flask.ext.bcrypt import check_password_hash
from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
def set_password(user, password):
generate_password_hash("string")
User.password = generate_password_hash("string")
return user
def validate_password(user, password):
try:
password = generate_password_hash(password)
password == check_password_hash(password)
except: True
return False
how is this getting reversed?

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou're not checking the passed-in password. Read the docs on checking a hashed password or watch the video again.

It's pathetic the way you keep dodging questions... The amount of topics created just on this test alone through a simple Google search is astonishing. This was done through the console but now we have to write it out....Come on man. Help people, walk them through what to do instead of always saying "read the docks or watch the video, again".
