logging in a user from encrypted password

[Lou C]

I have a user I have fetched from the db(), I want to return this user's JWT token, but to do so I must log them in first.

Can I log in a user with auth.password property?

valid_user = auth.login_bare(user.username, user.password)
if valid_user:
    payload = AuthJWT.serialize_auth_session(current.session.auth)
    AuthJWT.alter_payload(payload)
    logging.info(AuthJWT.generate_token(payload))
