Django How To remove the password field from the UserCreationForm

Question

I want to learn somethings about User Authentication.. I want to import UserCreationForm to my forms.py without "password field" and then I want to make password field and control by myself. How can I exclude "password fields"? thanks for help.

Answer 1

Just delete them in __init__ and update methods where they are used:

class MyUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):

   def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
       super(MyUserCreationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
       del self.fields['password1']
       del self.fields['password2']

Answer 2

Your best option is to hide them from the form:

class MyUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
    password1 = None # Standard django password input
    password2 = None # Standard django password confirmation input

EDIT: Actually this is only hiding the form, but you will have problems during form validation. Still looking for a solution.
