        company.save()
    return super().form_valid(form)

am try to put this function in form to convert lowercase

def clean_username(self): 
 return self.cleaned_data['username'].lower()

how i can use iexact when login and where

Answer 1

you can match username in lowercase like this

from django.db.models.functions import Lower

input_name = form.cleaned_data['username'].lower()

User.objects.annotate(username_lower=Lower("username")).filter(username_lower=input_name)
