(Django) Saving a Custom User Model in Django Form Wizard

Question

I am having trouble creating a multi-step registration page for users. So far, I have a custom user model called Account to which I have added some fields that affect other things within my project. The model works fine when I just use a single-step registration form. However, once I transitioned to a multi-step registration form (with Django Form Wizard) and separated the basic registration (email, username, password) from the other fields, I started encountering some difficulty. Reading the Django Form Wizard documentation doesn't help much. I also want to note I am creating another model (which has my custom user model as a Foreign Key) upon registration. Here is my code:

forms.py

class RegisterForm1(UserCreationForm):
   email = forms.EmailField()

   class Meta:
      model = Account
      fields = ["username", "email", "password1", "password2", ]
      help_texts = {
        'username': None,
        'password1': None,
        'password2': None,
    }

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(RegisterForm1, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['password1'].help_text = ''
        self.fields['password2'].help_text = ''

class RegisterForm2(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Account
        fields = ["int_field", "char_field", ]

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(RegisterForm2, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

views.py

class register_new(SessionWizardView):
template_name = "register/register.html"
form_list = [RegisterForm1, RegisterForm2]
def done(self, form_list, form_dict, **kwargs):
    form1 = RegisterForm1(self.request.POST)
    form2 = RegisterForm2(self.request.POST)
    if form1.is_valid() and form2.is_valid():   
        username = self.request.POST['username']
        email = self.request.POST['email']
        password = self.request.POST['password1']
        int_field = self.request.POST['int_field']
        char_field = self.request.POST['char_field']
        user = Account(username=username, email=email, password=password, int_field=int_field, char_field=char_field)
        user.save()
        ModelA.objects.create(user=user, classification="c")
        ModelA.objects.create(user=user, classification="h")
        ModelA.objects.create(user=user, classification="f")
        ModelA.objects.create(user=user, classification="e")
    return redirect('/')

This code does not even create a new user (I can see that nothing happens in my /admin). I know it doesn't have to do with my models since everything worked when I was using a simple single-step-form.

tl;dr I basically want to set up a multi-step registration form for a custom user model, while also creating a new model for the user upon registration.

First of all you don't need to validate the forms. According the docs when you get to the done function the forms are already validated.

This can be removed:

form1 = RegisterForm1(self.request.POST)
form2 = RegisterForm2(self.request.POST)

Because all the forms are available in the form_list

In the docs one of the ways to get the form data is as follows:

form_data = {
 'form_data': [form.cleaned_data for form in form_list],
}

THe only thing you need to do afterwards is get the values from the form data and create the user obj.
