Thanks

17,081 PointsThe answer was in the next lessons of this course. From my understanding the issue is related to the bcrypt 0.8.3 version being incompatible with the newer node version.
So, I ran trough the console the command line : npm update bcrypt *** npm update bcrypt --save could work if you want to keep it saved into the package.json file.
After that simple command the bcrypt is the updated patched 0.8.7 version. Everything worked peachy fine when I ran the node app.js command afterwards!!!
