ModelForm not finding field when submitting

I currently have this ModelForm for validating a new user registration:

class RegistrationForm(forms.ModelForm):
    email = forms.CharField(max_length=75, required=True)
    password = forms.PasswordInput()
    password_confirm = forms.PasswordInput()

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'email', 'password']

    def clean(self):
        if self.password != self.password_confirm:
            self.add_error('password_confirm', 'Passwords do not match.')

The user is required to confirm his password. When submitting this form I get the following error:

ValueError at /register

'RegistrationForm' has no field named 'password_confirm'.

I tried using the self.cleaned_data as well, but still get the same error.

The fields attribute cannot be removed nor can password_confirm be added to it.

How would one go about fixing this?

You need to call the super clean first, and then you should use the cleaned data rather than the field.

def clean(self):
    cleaned_data = super(RegistrationForm, self).clean()
    if cleaned_data.get('password') != cleaned_data.get('password_confirm'):
        self.add_error('password_confirm', 'Passwords do not match.')

password and password_confirm are defined as widgets, not form fields.

Define two CharFields and pass the widget argument:

class RegistrationForm(forms.ModelForm):
    email = forms.CharField(max_length=75, required=True)
    password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput)
    password_confirm = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput)
