How to fix "Invalid password format or unknown hashing algorithm." error?
Colleagues, such a question: I created a model for a custom user, inherited from AbstractBaseUser, plus added a manager and forms to it (as in the documentation). When I try to create a superuser, everything is OK, but when I create a regular user, I see this picture:
What causes this error and how to fix it?
The code:
class UserProfileManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, date_of_birth, password):
"""
Creates and saves a User with the given email, date of
birth and password.
"""
if not email:
raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')
user = self.model(
email=self.normalize_email(email),
date_of_birth=date_of_birth,
)
user.set_password(password)
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, date_of_birth, password):
"""
Creates and saves a superuser with the given email, date of
birth and password.
"""
user = self.create_user(email,
password=password,
date_of_birth=date_of_birth
)
user.is_admin = True
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
class UserProfile(AbstractBaseUser):

Colleagues, thank you all, I figured it out!
The fact is that before that I had a non-custom user model, and I used the get_or_create method to create a regular user and create_superuser for the admin. So I redefined create_superuser, but I completely forgot about get_or_create.
So I'll be more careful next time.
