How did you solve this, am getting a similar error

I think sequelize modified their doc. I had to do this

Users.beforeCreate(user => {
    user.password = bcrypt.hashSync(
      user.password,
      bcrypt.genSaltSync(10),
      null
    );
  });

before it worked. Check out the doc Hooks

Can we use this authentication for Electron Desktop App too?

I have no idea as I haven't used Electron
