To indent the code here you must use the backtick ` in the beggining and end of the line.  
For multilines use 3 backticks.

Now that we had properly formatted code, it’s required some more information about what is happening.

Are you seeing any errors on the console, do you receive any errors on the page?

I would use the Django shell to try that `authenticate` function call with the username and password that you are trying, to verify that the password is valid.

Why do you think the `authenticate` function is going to check this model instead of the system-defined `User` model?
