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

The Django's Forms The above form has two inputs - a text field named username (the name attribute in the html input field is what determines the name of input field) and a password field named password - and a submit button. The form uses POST method to submit form data to server.
validate(self, password, user=None) : validate a password. Return None if the password is valid, or raise a ValidationError with an error message if the password is not valid. You must be able to deal with user being None - if that means your validator can't run, return None for no error.
<input> elements of type password provide a way for the user to securely enter a password. The element is presented as a one-line plain text editor control in which the text is obscured so that it cannot be read, usually by replacing each character with a symbol such as the asterisk ("*") or a dot ("•").
Forms are basically used for taking input from the user in some manner and using that information for logical operations on databases. For example, Registering a user by taking input as his name, email, password, etc. Django maps the fields defined in Django forms into HTML input fields.
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;
