Re: Authenticate problem

[Vijay Khemlani]

usu.password shouldn't be "secret" (as in plain text "secret") it should be hashed.

Try doing 

usu.set_password('secret')

usu.save() # Not sure if it is necessary or set_password saves by itself

then 

user = authenticate(username='john', password='secret')

Hi

I'm trying to use authenticate like the documentation shown at djangoproject, and when I try this authenticate returns None, although the user is registered, and the password is right:

from django.contrib.auth import authenticate

...

user = authenticate(username='john', password='secret') #None

usu = User.objects.get(username='john') # usu.password == 'secret'

is there something wrong?

Thank you a lot
