Treehouse TeacherThe answer you're looking for is "authenticate". That's the method used to check the user's password. I have the sneaking suspicion that you tried to type the whole code in there instead of just the name of the method. There's an example of this method being used at around 49 seconds into this video https://teamtreehouse.com/library/user-authentication-with-rails/password-hashing-and-sign-in/testing-session-creation. Hope this helps!
