I strongly suggest you not to re-invent the wheel, there are just too many security issues to take care of if you decide to code authentication yourself.
django.contrib.auth is your friend: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/ app-engine-patch can help you get it running on appengine: http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/wiki/CustomUserModel See also this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/6d04d8b69e89d361/641e9565b6ad7071 Password field can be created with this code: password = forms.CharField(label='Current password', max_length=100, required=False, widget=forms.PasswordInput (render_value=False)) It works with Django 1.0, I'm not sure about 0.96 which is built into appengine by default. -- www.muspy.com On Nov 14, 2:32 pm, pran__ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I don't want my users to compulsorily have a Google account.
