postman returns status code 401 even though my hashedpwd and decrypted pwd are identical

router.post("/login", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const user = await User.findOne({ email: req.body.email });
    if (!user) return res.status(401).json("Wrong Credentials!");
    var salt = process.env.SALT; //SALT
    var hashedPassword = CryptoJS.PBKDF2(req.body.masterPassword, salt, {
      //HASHED PWD
      keySize: 256 / 32,
    });
    const decryptedPassword = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(
      user.masterPassword,
      process.env.PASS_SEC
    ).toString();
    console.log(decryptedPassword+" "+hashedPassword)

    if (hashedPassword === decryptedPassword) {
      res.status(200).json(user);
    } else {
      res.status(401).json("pwd dont match!");
    }
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).json(err);
  }
});

console.log(decryptedPassword+" "+hashedPassword) returns 8da9d88c32a0246a66ed3a70b8e3a9c34d46112ebb3b2e891172e5773bfa80dd 8da9d88c32a0246a66ed3a70b8e3a9c34d46112ebb3b2e891172e5773bfa80dd
