[Answer]-Django user login after creation isn't working

It turns out it’s the same issue as Django automatic login after user registration (1.4)

Following was my import statement:

from django.contrib.auth import forms as auth_forms, views as auth_views, login, authenticate

Changed it to

from django.contrib.auth import forms as auth_forms, views as auth_views
from django.contrib.auth import login as auth_login, authenticate as auth_authenticate

and updated all the login and authenticate call to auth_login and auth_authenticate and seems to work now.

Thank you all for your help !
