# this is my views.py
from django.shortcuts import render ,redirect
from django.contrib.auth import login
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from . import forms

# Create your views here.
def home(request):
    return render(request,'home.html')

@login_required
def customer_page(request):
    return render(request,'home.html')
@login_required
def courier_page(request):
    return render(request,'home.html')

def sign_up(request):
    form = forms.SignUPForm()
    if request.method=='POST':
        form=forms.SignUPForm(request.POST)
        
        if form.is_valid():
            email=form.cleaned_data.get('email').lower()
            
            user= form.save(commit=False)
            user.useranme = email
            user.save() 
            
            login(request,user,backend='django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend')
            return redirect('/')
                    
    return render(request,'sign_up.html',{

Answer 1

thanks @Eshter the solution was as mention above :create an "application password" for this specific program, which you would find out if you went to the link they gave you in the error message and have to use this created password inside the code exactly the way i used to use a regular password
