In Django 2.x + you can simply use messages framework that comes with Django

views.py

from django.contrib import messages

def register(request):
    ....
    messages.success(request,"You have registered successfully, now login!")
    return redirect('login-page')

And in you, login.html template do add this code

  {% if messages %}
    {% for message in messages %}
        

            Success! {{message}}
            ×
        
    {% endfor %}
 {% endif %}

Note this example can be applied to anywhere you want to display a message for success

If you want to pass an error message simply use messages.error(request, "Error message")
