Removing help_text from Django UserCreateForm

Question

Probably a poor question, but I\'m using Django\'s UserCreationForm (slightly modified to include email), and I would like to remove the help_text that Django automatically

I had a similar issue. Based on one of the comments, here is the solution after reading the documentation.

class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):
    password1 = forms.CharField(label='Enter password', 
                                widget=forms.PasswordInput)
    password2 = forms.CharField(label='Confirm password', 
                                widget=forms.PasswordInput)
    class Meta:
        model=User
        fields=("username","email","first_name",
                "last_name","password1","password2")
        help_texts = {
            "username":None,
        }

Basically what we are trying to do is over-ride the automated setting by re-creating the password fields for our new class form.
