Django create new user with hashed password

In Django, you can create a new user with a hashed password using the create_user method provided by the django.contrib.auth.models.User model.

Here's an example:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Create a new user with a hashed password
new_user = User.objects.create_user(
    username='newuser',
    email='[email protected]',
    password='mysecretpassword'
)

In this example, we're creating a new User object with the following attributes:

username: the username for the new user
email: the email address for the new user
password: the password for the new user, which will be hashed using the make_password function

The create_user method will automatically hash the password using the make_password function, which is a part of the django.contrib.auth.hashers module.

You can also specify additional attributes, such as first_name and last_name, when creating a new user:

new_user = User.objects.create_user(
    username='newuser',
    email='[email protected]',
    password='mysecretpassword',
    first_name='John',
    last_name='Doe'
)

Note that the create_user method will raise a ValidationError if the password is too short or if the username is already taken.

Alternatively, you can use the create_superuser method to create a superuser with a hashed password:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Create a new superuser with a hashed password
new_superuser = User.objects.create_superuser(
    username='superuser',
    email='[email protected]',
    password='mysecretpassword'
)

The create_superuser method is similar to create_user, but it sets the is_superuser attribute to True by default.
