Unable to store hashed password in database in django

Question

I am using custom user model by extending AbstractBaseUser . However inspite of calling set_password inside custom user manager I am unable to store hashed password in my postgres database.

I followed the solution given at the below link but it didn't work:-

Django: set_password isn't hashing passwords?

Folloing is my code for models and managers

models.py

from django.contrib.auth.models import PermissionsMixin
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.base_user import AbstractBaseUser
from .managers import InterestedUserManager


# Create your models here.

class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):

    date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, null=True, blank=True)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    email = models.EmailField(blank=False, unique=True)
    phone_no = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=False)
    address = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False)


    objects = UserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = []

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = ('user')
        verbose_name_plural = ('users')

    def __str__(self):
        return "%s %s -- %s" % (self.first_name, self.last_name, self.address)

managers.py

from django.contrib.auth.base_user import BaseUserManager


class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    use_in_migrations = True

    def _create_user(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('The given email must be set')
        email = self.normalize_email(email)
        user = self.model(email, **extra_fields)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        print("User object is ",user)
        print("User password is ".user.password)
        return user

    def create_user(self, email, password=None, **extra_fields):
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', False)
        return self._create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)

    def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', True)

        if extra_fields.get('is_superuser') is not True:
            raise ValueError('Superuser must have is_superuser=True')

        return self._create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)

views.py

class RegisterUserSerializer(ListCreateAPIView):
    serializer_class = CreateUserSerializer
    queryset = User.objects.all()

    # override create method of ListCreateAPIView to include token
    def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        serializer = self.get_serializer(data=request.data)
        serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
        user = serializer.save()
        return Response({
            "user": UserSerializer(user, context=self.get_serializer_context()).data,
            "token": AuthToken.objects.create(user)[1]
        })

serializers.py

class UserSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = User

        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'password', 'phone_no', 'address')

For example if you run following command in shell.

User.objects.create( first_name="rre", last_name="rre", email="rre@test.com", address="some-address", password="test@123", phone_no="9944002255" )

Then, password is getting stored as plain text in my postgres database.

You can simply use:

User.objects.create_user( first_name="rre", last_name="rre", email="rre@test.com", address="some-address", password="test@123", phone_no="9944002255" )

create_user is a manager method, which is defined in your custom model manager class UserManager.
