Is it good to use Promise this way?

Question

I'm trying to understand and master promise but I ran into an issue which I'm not sure if this would be the right way to do things.

I'm using nodejs and I have the following: A database and a module in which I do something with the database. At one point I'm trying to do create a new user in the database and after the user is created to create another entry in another table for that user with other details.

passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy({
    usernameField: 'username',
    passwordField: 'password',

  },
  function(username, password, done) {

    // Before creating the user access Sequlize beforeCreate method so we can encrypt the password
    User.beforeCreate(function(req) {
      console.log('Encryptying password for user ',req.username)
      return encryptPass(req.password)
      .then(success => {
        req.password = success;
      })
      .catch(err => {
        if (err) console.error(err);
      });
    });

    User.create({
      username: username,
      password: password
    }).then(function(createdUser) {
      console.log(createdUser);
      UserDetails.create({
        id:createdUser.dataValues.id
      }).then((data)=>{
        console.log(data);
        return done(null,createdUser);
      }).catch((error)=>{
        console.log(error)
        return done(error)
      })
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.error(error)
      return done(`${error.message}.`);
    });
  }
));

Is this the correct way to use the promises when I have something like this?

If you need more information please let me know and I'll try to make everything more clearer as much as I can.

Thank you all, based on comments I have ended up with the below code. As much as I tried to avoid callback hell issue it still looks a bit like it but since both promises needs to be called I think it's a good solution and not nesting it to much:

 // Local sign-up strategy
  passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy({
    usernameField: 'username',
    passwordField: 'password',

  },
  function(username, password, done) {

    // Before creating the user access Sequlize beforeCreate method so we can encrypt the password
    User.beforeCreate(function(req) {
      console.log('Encryptying password for user ',req.username)
      return encryptPass(req.password)
      .then(success => {
        req.password = success;
      })
      .catch(err => {
        if (err) console.error(err);
      });
    });

    User.create({
      username: username,
      password: password
    }).then(function(createdUser) {
      console.log(createdUser);
      return createdUser;
    }).then((userData) =>{
      UserDetails.create({
        id:userData.dataValues.id
      }).then((userDetails)=>{
        return done(null,userData)
      })
    }).catch(function(error) {
      console.error(error)
      return done(`${error.message}.`);
    });
  }
));

Thank you, Victor
