If you creat user normally  you will not be able to login as password creation method may b different You can use default signup form for that  from django contrib auth forms import UserCreationForm   You can extend that also  from django contrib auth forms import UserCreationForm  class UserForm UserCreationForm       mobile   forms CharField max length 15  min length 10      email   forms EmailField required True      class Meta          model   User         fields     username    password    first name    last name    email    mobile      Then in view use this class  class UserCreate CreateView       form class   UserForm     template name    registration signup html      success url   reverse lazy  list        def form valid self  form           user   form save

Have you confirmed that you are passing actual values and not None   from django shortcuts import render  def createUser request       userName   request REQUEST get  username   None      userPass   request REQUEST get  password   None      userMail   request REQUEST get  email   None         TODO  check if already existed     if userName and userPass and userMail         u created   User objects get or create userName  userMail         if created              user was created             set the password here        else              user was retrieved     else           request was empty      return render request  home html

Bulk user creation with set password  I you are creating several test users  bulk create is much faster  but we can t use create user with it   set password is another way to generate the hashed passwords   def users iterator        for i in range nusers           is superuser    i    0          user   User              first name  First    str i               is staff is superuser              is superuser is superuser              last name  Last    str i               username  user    str i                     user set password  asdfqwer           yield user  class Command BaseCommand       def handle self    options           User objects bulk create iter users iterator       Question specific about password hashing  How to use Bcrypt to encrypt passwords in Django  Tested in Django 1 9

The correct way to create a user in Django is to use the create user function  This will handle the hashing of the password  etc     from django contrib auth models import User user   User objects create user username  john                                    email  jlennon beatles com                                    password  glass onion
