[Answered ]-Django REST Framework user registration Validation confusion

The problem in your method is that you are passing the password2, which is not an attribute of the User model.

From reading your code, I think you could try something like this,

Instead of repeatedly validating each password field you could do an object wide validation for that.

def validate(self, data):
    password = data.get('password')
    confirm_password = data.pop('password2')
    if password != confirm_password:
        raise ValidationError('.............')
    return data

The create method you have written would suffice, I hope..
Try this and let me know if anything comes up..

EDIT

Edit your create method,

def create (self, validated_data):
    email = validated_data.get('email')
    username = validated_data.get('username')
    password = validated_data.get('password')
    try:
        user = User.objects.create(username=username, email=email)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save()
        return user
    except Exception as e:
        return e

The KeyError maybe triggered, if any of the email, password, username are not available.

please try this: add write_only=True in the password2

class UserCreateSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    password2 = CharField(label='Confirm Password', write_only=True)
    ...
