You can try

from werkzeug.security import generate_password_hash, check_password_hash

or check the version of werkzeug installed in your system. Those functions are available for version 1.0.x

Those functions were deprecated for a while and now they are moved to werkzeug.security


DeprecationWarning: The import 'werkzeug.generate_password_hash' is deprecated and will be removed in Werkzeug 1.0. Use 'from werkzeug.security import generate_password_hash' instead.
  from werkzeug import generate_password_hash, check_password_hash
