How to create password input field in django

Question

Hi I am using the django model class with some field and a password field. Instead of displaying regular plain text I want to display password input. I created a model class like this:

class UserForm(ModelForm):     class Meta:         password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput)         model = User         widgets = {             'password': forms.PasswordInput(),         } 

But i am getting the following error: NameError: name 'forms' is not defined.

I am using django version 1.4.0. I followed this link : Django password problems

Still getting the same error. What should i do. Where am i getting wrong.Please help

Answer 1

The widget needs to be a function call, not a property. You were missing parenthesis.

class UserForm(ModelForm):     password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput())     class Meta:         model = User

You need to include the following in your imports;

from django import forms
