# ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask_bcrypt'

TL;DR: the pip distribution is called Flask-Bcrypt but the module is flask_bcrypt. Run `pip install Flask-Bcrypt` and the import works.

```text
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask_bcrypt'
```

## The fix

```
pip install Flask-Bcrypt
```

Verify:
```
python -c "from flask_bcrypt import Bcrypt; print('ok')"
```
Expected output: ok.

## When this applies
- Code does `from flask_bcrypt import Bcrypt`.
- You ran `pip install flask_bcrypt` (wrong distribution name) or never installed it.
- A fresh virtualenv, container, or CI runner is missing the package.

## When it does NOT apply
- The error is about `_bcrypt` or DLL loading, which is the compiled-extension problem, not a missing package.
- `pip show Flask-Bcrypt` already reports it installed; then check you are in the right environment.

## Why this happens
PyPI distribution names and Python import names are independent. Flask extensions usually use a CamelCase or dashed distribution name with a snake_case module, and guessing one from the other fails. When in doubt, the PyPI page lists the exact `pip install` command.

## Compatibility
Flask-Bcrypt works with Flask 2.x and 3.x and needs the bcrypt package, which pip pulls in automatically.
