544 PointsWhenever you run npm init it will create you a fresh copy of package.json and that includes having no dependencies or dev-dependencies. If you already had installed bcrypt and would like it in your package.json file just do as so:
npm i bcrypt --saveAfter that you can view your package.json file and you will see it has a section for dependencies.
