password=models.PasswordField()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PasswordField'

So I want to know that which field type is used for password in Django.I already refer to form doc but I found nothing.

There is no PasswordField() in django. You can to use CharField() to store a password, but to show it as password input type in a html form you can specify a widget to it.

Example:

password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput())

More reference at :PasswordInput

Theory

  1. Use django.db.models.CharField, since this is an OK database column type for a password string

  2. Use django.forms.PasswordWidget, to represent this field in a form, see overriding default form field widgets

Example

models.py:

from django.db import models


class YourModel(models.Model):
    password = models.CharField(max_length=200)

forms.py:

from django import forms

from models import YourModel


class YourModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        widgets = {'password': forms.PasswordField}
        model = YourModel
