bcrypt.compare() always return false even when it´s supposed to be true

[s-pl]

Hello, I'm working on an authentication system in MongoDB. When storing passwords, everything seems fine:
{"_id":{"$oid":"66408f417315a786f0d1d279"},"username":"test","email":"[email protected]","password":"$2b$10$e2KuxFiAq4oVl7DaL80TX.9udp65K9uoiVOSfXZNmzHP8rVqIR5bG","role":"user","createdAt":{"$date":{"$numberLong":"1715507009424"}},"updatedAt":{"$date":{"$numberLong":"1715507009424"}},"__v":{"$numberInt":"0"}}
But then, when comparing the hash with the password, it always returns incorrect (even when it's correct). This is the method I'm using:

userSchema.pre('save', async function (next) {
  const user = this;
  if (!user.isModified('password')) return next();

  try {
    const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt();
    user.password = await bcrypt.hash(user.password, salt);
    next();
  } catch (error) {
    return next(error);
  }
});

userSchema.methods.comparePassword = async function (password) {
    
    console.log(password,this.password)
    return bcrypt.compare(password, this.password);
  
};

And this is the comparison log:
test $2b$10$e2KuxFiAq4oVl7DaL80TX.9udp65K9uoiVOSfXZNmzHP8rVqIR5bG

I think there's an error in the bcrypt.compare function, but I'm very lost

//my solution!!
ok guys! i have find the bug!!
if you set select:false in password (user model),
try to remove select("-password") or ("+password") in user auth model (loginUser)

@s-pl yes i have been facing this issue as well with both bcryptjs and bcrypt

// my solution
can u try this, if you set select:false in password (user model),
try to remove select("-password") or ("+password") in user auth model (loginUser)

I am using postgresSQL. But its not a concern here i guess. facing the same issue as above. will it help if i am using a saltRound of lower value? it obviously means reducing security. but i think the length of the hashed password generated is the problem here. what do you guys think?

the common solution is to extend the maximum lenght of characters that your db can handle. But if that doesn’t work try to install the previous version of Bcrypt. El El lun, 24 jun 2024 a las 13:11, Moonis Ahmed ***@***.***> escribió:
