Why passwords are not encrypted automatically in Django?

[Ram Mullapudi]

Hi,

We are using HTML forms in our DJango Web Application and user password is not auto encrypted in DJango. Do we need to write additional code to encrypt the password in Django backend?

Best regards

Hi. Django automatically hashes password when the backend set password using `User.set_password` or `User.create_userr` method.
I think the best practice for password is to hash it instead of to encrypt it. Django already done it.
