'Import "cryptography" could not be resolved'

[mitsuna79]

I'm new to Python and trying to get this cryptography function running but I keep getting the message 'Import "cryptography" could not be resolved' (it points to line 1, column 6).

from cryptography import Fernet

masterPwd = input("What is the master password? >>")

def view():
    with open("passwordsUpdated.txt", "r") as f:
        for line in f.readlines():
            data = line.rstrip()
            user, passw = data.split("|")
            print("User: ", user, "Password: ", passw)

def add():
    name = input("Account name: ")
    pwd = input("Password: ")

    with open("passwordsUpdated.txt", "a") as f:
        f.write(name + "|" + pwd)


while True:
    mode = input("Add new password or view existing (view/add)? Q to quit. >>")
    if mode == "q":
        break

    if mode == "view":
        view()
    elif mode == "add":
        add()
    else:
        print("Invalid")
        continue

This is the video tutorial I am following: https://youtu.be/NpmFbWO6HPU?si=xzMSnkOjIyYpvhN7&t=4969 (it's supposed to be a password manager)

I have already tried "pip install --upgrade pip" and "pip install --upgrade cffi" and have updated cryptography to the latest version. My python is version 3.14.0.

In a previous thread I was told that this is a problem with how my Python environment is configured.
