Python Django Custom Authentication with Email Verification - Complete Project Tutorial
Ғылым және технология
In this step by step tutorial we’ll learn how to create an email verification system in Django from Scratch.
We will not use any external libraries or frameworks for authentication, instead we will create everything ourselves; we will make our own token generator, custom generator form, Activation email and view that checks the validity of the tokens and handles the activation status of user accounts and much much more. The goal is to provide a clear and comprehensive guide.
Throughout this tutorial, we'll cover essential aspects of the implementation; we will create our own token generator, custom generator form, activation email and views that checks the validity of the tokens and handles the activation status of user accounts and much much more. My goal when making this tutorial is to make the whole process as clear and complete as possible.

I'm getting an Exception Value: super() argument 1 must be a type, not str when registering a user. Can you help?

Hi, if I were you I would recheck my super() call in forms.py If you have followed the tutorial, it should look like this: user=super(RegistrationForm, self).save(commit=False) I hope that helps :)

I apologize . I should have sent the exception location in the first email.
Probably it would be better to create all of that inside an app instead on the main project, wouldn't it??

Hello, thanks for the awesome video. I am getting an error during template rendering when i try to register a user. django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'activate' with keyword arguments '{'uidb64': '', 'token': 'c63f4k-9513de088b89a2ed3c0e462dad785146'}' not found. Any advice on how to fix this? Thank you

Hello, Try to double-check that the values you're passing for uidb64 and token are correct and valid. It seems like the uidb64 value is empty in your error message, which might indicate an issue with generating or passing this value. I hope that helps. :)
