I extended the AbstractUser class, and then added a password2 field for password validation. However, in my admin page, my password2 field displays as plain text, instead of a hashed value just like the AbstractUser password field. I'd want my password2 value to be hashed as well. How can that be done, please.

User Model:

class UserProfile(AbstractUser):
    profile_image = models.FileField(upload_to="profile_img")
    password2 = models.CharField(max_length=350, default="")

SignUp serializer:

class SignUpSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    password2 = serializers.CharField(style={'input_type': 'password'}, write_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = ('username', 'password', 'password2', 'email',)
``

you need to call **`.set_password()`** method in the serializer class – JPG Jul 22 '20 at 07:54
Okay. With ```.set_password() ```, do I need to do a manual hashing? – Marvelous Ikechi Jul 22 '20 at 07:55
No, `set_password()` will handle the hashing procedures – JPG Jul 22 '20 at 07:57
