Trying to update password (GraphQL) “data must be a string and salt must either be a salt string”
I'm new to graphQL and I'm trying to update the user profile password in the backend under my resolvers.js file but I've been stuck at it for a while and I keep getting the same error message.

resolvers.js
updatePassword: combineResolvers(
isAuthenticated,
async (parent, args, context) => {
const { id, newPassword, oldPassword } = args;
const { models, user, jwtSecret } = context;
await models.User.updatePassword(
{ id, newPassword, oldPassword },
createToken({ newPassword }, jwtSecret, API_TIMEOUTS.JWT_TOKEN),
user.emailAddress
);
return models.User.findByEmail(user.emailAddress);
}
)
Index.js (helper)
const generatePasswordHash = async password => {
const saltRounds = 10;
return bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds);
}
User.updatePassword = async (newPassword, emailAddress) => {
const password = await generatePasswordHash(newPassword);
return User.update(
{ password, resetPasswordToken: null },
{
where: {
emailAddress
}
}
);
};
Error that I'm getting
"data must be a string and salt must either be a salt string or a number of rounds"
