title: Cannot Login to Django Admin Site
body: <p>I am trying to create a simple application using Django in Pycharm. I'm using Python 3.7 and Django 3.0.3.
  I was following this simple guide on <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/creating-and-running-your-first-django-project.html#" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jetbrains</a>. But for some reason I keep getting the error saying that my username or password is incorrect, whereas they are actually correct. I checked my database, and django_session table is there. I can see the user I have created in auth_user table with is_staff, is_superuser and is_active all true. 
  I also tried changing the password after creating a super user as this was the accepted answer on a similar question but that didn't work. 
  Here is my settings.py file</p>
  
  <pre><code>"""
