# error:unused variable username and password
I want to create a user authentication in django there is an error in username and password
def login(request): if request.method=="POST": #here got and error username=request.POST.get('Username') #here got an error password=request.POST.get('password') user = authenticate(username='username', password='password') if user is not None: return redirect("/") else: return render(request,'login.html') return render(request,'login.html') Thanks in advance!
This is because when you’re authenticating you’re using the string 'username' and the string 'password' rather than the variables you have created.
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password) Doing this you will now use the variables username and password rather than the strings.
