How To Make A Registration And Login System Using Django?

I want to create a registration and login system I have made the registration form but I'm not able to carry out the authentication part of it. Models.py from __future__ import uni

Solution 1:

@Alasdair is right, you don't need the django.contrib.admin in order to use the django.contrib.auth.

Next a solution, that make use of django generic class based views.

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class Profile(AbstractUser):
    WORK = (
        ('School', 'School'),
        ('Collage', 'Collage'),
        ('Job', 'Job')
    )
                                                        )
    age = models.IntegerField() 
    work = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=WORK)

settings.py

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'my_users_app.Profile'
LOGIN_URL = '/login/'  # Where our login page is

views.py

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, AuthenticationForm
from django.contrib.auth.views import login as django_login_view
from django.views.generic import FormView


class LoginView(FormView):
    form_class = AuthenticationForm
    template_name = 'my_users_app/login.html'

    def form_valid(self, form):
        usuario = form.get_user()

        django_login_view(self.request, usuario)
        return super(LoginView, self).form_valid(form)

urls.py

from my_users_app.views import LoginView
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^login/$', LoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
]

login.html

<form method="post" autocomplete="off">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {{ form.as_p }}
  <button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>

Note:

• In order to make your own User model, you need to configure the AUTH_USER_MODEL, and inherit from AbstractUser.
• The AuthenticationForm will validate the username/password and will trigger the form_valid.
• I'm using from django.contrib.auth.views import login to import the django login view who is responsible to make the login action once the form has been validated.
