How to fix “TypeError…” in QtWidgets.QMessageBox for popup message in PyQT5

Question

I want to show popup info/warning/etc.. message to user, when user is submitting blank or incorrect info as Username and Password in PyQT5-GUI app.

I confused and i don't know where is the root cause of problem.

Windows 10 - 64 bit ___ Python 3.6 and 3.7 - 64 bit ____ PyQT5 - 5.11.3

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
def __init__(self):
  <skipped>
  self.btn_signin.clicked.connect(self.check_userPass) #### User/Pass checking.
  <skipped>

def check_userPass(self):  # an internal method/function from `Ui_MainWindow`.
  username = self.txt_user.text()  #a QlineEdit
  password = self.txt_pass.text()  #a QlineEdit
  if len(username) < 2  and  len(password) < 2:
    QtWidgets.QMessageBox.question(self, "Checkk", "Helllooo", QtWidgets.QMessageBox.Ok, QtWidgets.QMessageBox.Cancel)
    ###error for above line:

Try it:

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtCore, QtGui

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
#    def __init__(self):
    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
        MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
        MainWindow.resize(600, 350)
        self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow)
        self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget")
        self.txt_user = QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self.centralwidget)
        self.txt_user.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(320, 130, 113, 20))
        self.txt_pass = QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self.centralwidget)
        self.txt_pass.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(320, 170, 113, 20))

        self.btn_signin = QtWidgets.QPushButton("btn_signin\n`Fusion` style", self.centralwidget)
        self.btn_signin.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(320, 200, 113, 50))        
        MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
