title: Why doesn't my selenium webdriver authentication work (Django 1.9)
body: <p>I am going through a process of registering and logging in for a list of users.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the same username and password to make things simple.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
  import re
  
  for address in geolocations:
  
      # register
      browser.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/register")
  
      username = browser.find_element_by_id("id_username")
      print("username is being set as " + re.sub(' ', '', address))
      password = browser.find_element_by_id("id_password")
      print("password is being set as " + re.sub(' ', '', address))
      location = browser.find_element_by_id("location")
      submit = browser.find_element_by_id("register")
      username.clear()
      password.clear()
      location.clear()
      username.send_keys(re.sub(' ', '', address))
      password.send_keys(re.sub(' ', '', address))
      location.send_keys(address)
      location.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
      submit.click()
      browser.implicitly_wait(1)
  
  
      # login
      browser.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/login")
      username = browser.find_element_by_id("username")
      password = browser.find_element_by_id("password")
      username.clear()
      password.clear()
      password.send_keys(re.sub(' ', '', address)) # addresses have spaces
      print("password is being set as: " + re.sub(' ', '', address))
      browser.implicitly_wait(2)
      submit = browser.find_element_by_id("submit")
      submit.click()    
      browser.implicitly_wait(2)
  
  browser.quit()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Even though the same string is being used for registering and logging in, the login authentication is not working.  But the same username/password combos work when I register/login manually.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone tell me what's causing this?</p>
