Ansible password setup in user module. It didn't set properly - linux

Question

I'm new in ansible, I'm setting up my new instance in digitalocean for configuring new user. Basically, I have the playbook for setting up it and everythings okay when I run the playbook but when I tried to check if my password is working it didn't work.
I did the
sudo apt-get update
to if the password is working. It didn't.

Any idea for this. Thanks

Ansible user module takes passwords as crypted values and jinja2 filters have the capability to handle the generation of encrypted passwords. You can modify your user creation task like this:
password: "{{ password | password_hash('sha512') }}"
Hope that will help you
