Django createsuperuser Password Prompt Issue

Based on your screenshot and description, it appears that the createsuperuser command is not prompting for a password. This typically happens when you have a custom user model with a custom manager that overrides the default behavior.

Possible Causes

1. Custom User Model: You might have a custom user model that doesn't require a password field or has it set as non-required.

2. Custom User Manager: Your user manager might have overridden the create_superuser method without properly handling the password.

3. Password Validators: There might be issues with your password validation configuration.

Solutions

1. Check Your User Model

Ensure your custom user model has a password field that is properly required:

PYTHONCopied
class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
    # Other fields...
    password = models.CharField(_('password'), max_length=128)
    # ...

2. Check Your User Manager

Make sure your custom user manager properly handles passwords:

PYTHONCopied
class CustomUserManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_superuser(self, username, email, password=None, **extra_fields):
        if not password:
            raise ValueError('Superusers must have a password')
        
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_staff', True)
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', True)
        
        return self.create_user(username, email, password, **extra_fields)

3. Use Command-line Arguments

You can provide the password directly in the command:

BASHCopied
python manage.py createsuperuser --username=admin --email=admin@example.com --noinput

Then set the password afterward:

BASHCopied
python manage.py changepassword admin

4. Check for Custom Management Commands

If you've overridden the createsuperuser command, ensure it's properly implemented.

5. Check AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS Setting

Make sure your password validators in settings.py are properly configured.

If none of these solutions work, you might need to examine your custom user model and manager more closely to identify what's preventing the password prompt from appearing.
