django not hashing password custom user

Question

i am working on a model which inherits from from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser

earlier i was specifying password field like:

password = models.Charfield(max_length=150)

but then i need to specify it as:

create_password = models.CharField(max_length=150)

in earlier case i was getting password in hashed format.
but after changing password to create_password
the value is saving in unhashed format (originally entered value).

all other settings are same as before, i am using user.set_password(create_password) function . but still no hashing.

how can i hash create_password field?

The set password function in Django AbstractBaseUser expects the password field name to be ‘password’ only, this is how the function looks if you go inside the AbstractBaseUser class:

def set_password(self, raw_password):
    self.password = make_password(raw_password)
    self._password = raw_password

But if you for some reason need your password field to be create_password instead of ‘password’ you can override the ‘set_password’ function in your user model like this:

def set_password(self, raw_password):
    self.create_password = make_password(raw_password)
    self._password = raw_password

I am assuming you have set your user model in the settings.py file and have created the Manager class as well.
