Login form not working when new Student is added from admin panel

[AdanNazir]

So here's the deal, whenever I add a new student from admin panel and fill their details, then when I use their username and password in the login section of the website, it displays "Invalid ID and password", can you please check this out and see if its a bug or if I'm doing anything wrong? Thanks!

The form now sends an email containing auto-generated credentials to students and lecturers immediately when the admin creates one. So to log in you have to get the ID and password from their email.

One tip, do not use the django-admin panel to create students or lecturers as the auto-generated credentials functionality is not supported there.

But we'll definitely consider supporting the same functionality on the django-admin panel

then from where we can obtain the student or lecturer password

Hey I just checked with a real email account and there is no credentials sent after creating a new account. Perhaps this functionality has not been implemented yet?

Okay now I keep getting SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. For more information, go to\n5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials d9443c01a7336-1fbb6ace7d9sm61674865ad.251 - gsmtp') despite having created an app password for my account and putting it in the .env file. Can you show how you managed to get smtplib to authenticate?
