How to store Django hashed password without the User object?

The accepted answer was helpful to me - I just wanted to add the check_password call (for people like me, who haven't used this functionality before)

from django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_password, check_passwordhashed_pwd = make_password("plain_text")check_password("plain_text",hashed_pwd)  # returns True

You are on the right track. However you can manage the password manually using

from django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_passwordprint "Hashed password is:", make_password("plain_text")

Hasher configuration will be driven by PASSWORD_HASHERS which should be common for both the auth system and your UserActivation model. However you can pass it in make_password method also.

PASSWORD_HASHERS = (    'myproject.hashers.MyPBKDF2PasswordHasher',    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher',    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptPasswordHasher',    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.SHA1PasswordHasher',    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.MD5PasswordHasher',    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.CryptPasswordHasher',)

Hope this helps.

I solved it recently by doing the following steps:

from .models import Clientfrom django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_passwordfrom .forms import ClientFormform =  ClientForm(request.POST)if form.is_valid():                first_name      = form.cleaned_data['first_name']            family_name     = form.cleaned_data['family_name']            password        = make_password(form.cleaned_data['password'])            phone           = form.cleaned_data['phone']                        user    =   Client(first_name=first_name, family_name=family_name, password=password, phone=phone)            user.save()
