Is it secure "enough" to put login info in the session?

Hi I want to have a guest concept. You get instant access to my app. There are limits. But, you will be allowed to come back multiple times before I require you to register. When a user comes in as a guest, I will create a user with a bogus username, password and email, and put the user_id

Re: Don't understand ModelForm

This is an excellent thread. I came here with the same questions as Marc. My revelation seems to be that forms are for data, and saving is control. And these two have separate concerns/goals. Such that fields shouldn't be in forms for the sole reason to make control of the form function
