Answer 1

you should register login_manager in init.py try to add this

login_manager.init_app(app)

Answer 2

The place where you added LoginManager init.py or app.py

login_manager = LoginManager()
 #Added this line fixed the issue.
login_manager.init_app(app) 
login_manager.login_view = 'users.login'
