[Flask] Can't get Werkzeug check_password_hash method to work

[Abdul Mohammed]

Thanks Ziirish.
I had a suspicion but I didn't know enough about password hashing to be
sure. I used the MySQL Password() function because I am building
the app in parts. I had done a login module but not a registration module,
which is where I would have used generate_password_hash. I just wanted to
test
the login module and that I had set up SQLAlchemy. I will work on my
registration model making sure to use generate_password_hash and see how it
goes.

Many thanks again.
