I was trying to implement a basic login system using Django with a custom user using the AbstractUser class.
Here is my models.py:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class Stock(models.Model):
 stock_name = models.CharField(max_length=10)
 stock_price = models.FloatField()

 def __str__(self):
 return self.stock_name

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
 stocks = models.ManyToManyField(Stock)

 def __str__(self):
 return self.username

My forms.py:

from .models import CustomUser,Stock
from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm

class loginform(AuthenticationForm):
 class Meta:
 model = CustomUser
 fields = ('username', 'password')

My views.py:

def successful_login(request, pk):
 user = get_object_or_404(CustomUser, pk=pk)
 return render(request, '../templates/stock_portfolio.html', 'user':user)

def loginview(request):
 err=0
 if request.method=="POST":
 form = loginform(request.POST)
 pdb.set_trace()
 if form.is_valid():
 username = form.cleaned_data['username']
 password = form.cleaned_data['password']
 user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
 if user is not None:
 pdb.set_trace()
 login(request, user)
 pk = user.id
 pdb.set_trace()
 return redirect('successful_login', pk=pk)
 else:
 err=1
 return render(request,'../templates/login.html','response':err,'form':form)
 else:
 form = loginform()
 return render(request, '../templates/login.html','form':form)

While logging using pdb here is what I am getting for the form.

<loginform bound=False, valid=Unknown, fields=(username;password)>

How do I proceed now?

Answering this since I just had the same issue and found the problem. Change your

form = loginform(request.POST)

to

form = loginform(data=request.POST)

Worked like a charm for me.
