python manage.py shell
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> u=User.objects.get_or_create(username="testuser2",password="123")
>>> u
(<User: testuser2>, True)
seems it created the User
properly. but when I logged into admin at
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/auth/user/3/
,
I see this message for password
Invalid password format or unknown hashing algorithm.
Screenshot is attached too. why is it this way and how to create User objects
from shell. I am actually writing a populating script that create mulitple users for my project?
You need to use the User.set_password
method to set a raw password.
E.g.,
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
user, created = User.objects.get_or_create(username="testuser2")
user.set_password('123')
user.save()
