You don’t have a key in the POST data called password, because your password fields are password1 and password2. So your dict get is simply returning the default value, the empty string.

As Alasdair says in the comments, you should be using the form cleaned_data anyway. And since you can only get to that point if the form is valid, you know that the values exist, so you shouldn’t be using get with a default: just use the standard dict access.

        username = form.cleaned_data['username']
        password = form.cleaned_data['password1']
