To disable the validation check in the default Django registration view, you can do the following:

  1. Create a custom registration form that extends the default registration form:
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

class MyRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ("username", "email")
  1. Import your custom registration form in your views.py file:
from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm
from django.contrib.auth import login, logout
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .forms import MyRegistrationForm # import custom registration form
  1. Modify the registration view function to use your custom form instead of the default form:
def register(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = MyRegistrationForm(request.POST) # use custom form
        if form.is_valid():
            # create new user
            user = form.save()
            login(request, user)
            return redirect("home")
    else:
        form = MyRegistrationForm() # use custom form
    return render(request, "registration/register.html", {"form": form})
  1. Modify your registration template to use the custom registration form:
{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}
  <h2>Register</h2>
  <form method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Register</button>
  </form>
{% endblock %}

By using a custom registration form, you can disable the validation checks that are built into the default registration view. However, it is important to note that disabling these checks can potentially leave your application vulnerable to security risks, so it should be done with caution.
