views.py

def register(request):
   registered = False

   if request.method == 'POST':
       user_form = userForm(request.POST, request.FILES)

    if user_form.is_valid():
        user = user_form.save()
        user.save()
         registered = True
    else:

About the part with using your phone number as login, you can refer this thread on logging in with another method (if you want both methods to stay, keep the old Django middleware; if you want to replace it, remove the existing auth middleware).

About the password part, I don't think that's necessary. As long as your phone numbers are unique, I believe that you can directly check whether the phone number matches a user in the database. However, if you insist on two passwords, here's how you should do it.

For the example that I provided you with, you might need two password fields for a user, one for the regular one and another for the phone. But modify like this:

if user.check_password(password1) or user.check_password(password2):

and then that should make both passwords valid for the user.

i want the username as well password to be my phone number which i provide during registration — nischith, Jul 22 '20 at 14:13
