Just install 'bcrypt' if not already or check if already installed. npm i bcrypt

Now, in your vidly-api-node folder goto routes folder and open up users.js in your code editor. and change this code (probably on line 21 & 22): const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10); user.password = await bcrypt.hash(user.password, salt); with this: const saltRounds = 10; const myPlaintextPassword = user.password; const bcrypt = require("bcrypt"); const salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync(saltRounds); const hash = bcrypt.hashSync(myPlaintextPassword, salt); user.password = hash; Save the file and you are good to go :)

Try to use the bcryptjs npm package.

I tried but it did not work. I even tried using bcrypt-nodejs it didn't work either.

Do not forget to rerun the script node index.js after changing your code. As I faced this issue.
