If you are using a modelform then you don't need to re-define the original
model fields, in this case
Class AccountForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Accounts
fields = ['authid', 'authtoken', 'provider']
You leave the "user" field out as it is not part of the form itself
Then in your view you can do something like this:
form = AccountForm(self.request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.instance
instance.user = self.request.user
instance.save()
