validate password - can't seem to figure this out. [Solved]

Ok I figured it out. Just to say, the video is not a very good indicator of what is required for this challenge. It didn't cover it in the same way at all. My mind was thinking "Kenneth did one line of code to check, so why can't I?". Maybe you can do it with one line but that's not how I ended up doing it.

In the end I did use an if block and just returned True or False if the condition was met or not. So the code ended up looking as follows:

from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash, check_password_hash

def set_password(user, password):
    user.password = generate_password_hash(password)
    return user

def validate_password(user, password):
    if check_password_hash(user.password, password):
        return True
    else:
        return False

Hey Andy Hughes, kudos for figuring it out!

I’ve retitled post as Solved.

One small feedback point about a more pythonic why to write your last if statement.

# instead of
    if check_password_hash(user.password, password):
        return True
    else:
        return False

# directly use the truthiness of the result
    return check_password_hash(user.password, password)

Happy coding!!
