Django PostgreSQL - the password isn't saved to the database - python-3.x

Question

I have a custom User model and a function in views.py to handle the registration. when I register a user with Postman for example all the user data is stored in the database correctly but the password -field remains empty. I think that causes the problem when I try to use a simple login -page - it never accepts my credentials (because there is no password in the database). Any ideas why the password isn't saved and how to fix it?
I have a function like this in views.py when registering a new user:
def register(response):
if response.method == 'POST':
form = RegisterForm(response.POST)
if form.is_valid():
user = form.save()
user.refresh_from_db()
user.id = form.cleaned_data.get('id')
user.save()
username = form.cleaned_data.get('email')
password = form.cleaned_data.get('password')
user = authenticate(username=email, password=password)
return HttpResponse(status=201)
else:
form = RegisterForm()
return HttpResponse(status=400)
And this is my custom user model:
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, password):
"""
Creates and saves a User with the given email and password.
"""
if not email:
raise ValueError('A user must have a email.')
user = self.model(
email=self.normalize_email(email),
)
user.set_password(password)
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
Edit. Here is my RegisterForm:
User = get_user_model()
class RegisterForm(forms.ModelForm):
password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput)
password_2 = forms.CharField(label='Confirm Password', widget=forms.PasswordInput)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['email', 'id', 'gender', 'height', 'weight']
def clean_email(self):
'''
Verify email is available.
'''
email = self.cleaned_data.get('email')
qs = User.objects.filter(email=email)
if qs.exists():
raise forms.ValidationError("email is taken")
return email
def clean_id(self):
'''
Verify id is available.
'''
id = self.cleaned_data.get('id')
qs = User.objects.filter(id=id)
if qs.exists():
raise forms.ValidationError("id is taken")
return id
def clean(self):
'''
Verify both passwords match.
'''
cleaned_data = super().clean()
password = cleaned_data.get("password")
password_2 = cleaned_data.get("password_2")
if password is not None and password != password_2:
self.add_error("password_2", "Your passwords must match")
return cleaned_data
And here is the model:
class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser):
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
staff = models.BooleanField(default=False) # a admin user; non super-user
admin = models.BooleanField(default=False) # a superuser
gender = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=20)
height = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=3)
id = models.CharField(primary_key=True, unique=True, blank=False, max_length=100)
email= models.EmailField(max_length=100, unique=True, null=False, blank=False)
weight = models.CharField(max_length=3, null=True, blank=True)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = [] # Email & Password are required by default.
def get_full_name(self):
# The user is identified by their email address
return self.email
def get_short_name(self):
# The user is identified by their email address
return self.email
def __str__(self):
return self.email
def has_perm(self, perm, obj=None):
"Does the user have a specific permission?"
# Simplest possible answer: Yes, always
return True
def has_module_perms(self, app_label):
"Does the user have permissions to view the app `app_label`?"
# Simplest possible answer: Yes, always
return True
#property
def is_staff(self):
"Is the user a member of staff?"
return self.staff
#property
def is_admin(self):
"Is the user a admin member?"
return self.admin
objects = UserManager()

And soon after editing my question I noticed I was missing the save function from the RegisterForm class. Adding this solved the problem:
def save(self, commit=True):
user = super().save(commit=False)
user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password"])
if commit:
user.save()
return user
