I implement {% csrf_token%} in my Django templates, but the token appears in the browser

Question

enter image description herei am very new to django. i am trying to create a login form in django but when i write the csrf_token line after the tag it is showing in the browser view. everything is very confusing for me i don't know what to do. the tutorial that i watch on youtube only pass the csrf_token but don't say anything much.

{% csrf_token %} Email Password Sign In Change Password

this is a very simple form that i styled using tailwindcss and the csrf token is being shown. also my app has other errors. it does not run on the development server

Did you edit your settings.py? Did you put {% csrf_token %} inside <form></form> ? 3 things comes to my mind is:

1. check your settings.py for MIDDLEWARE and check if you have'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware'.
2. Check your template to see if you placed {% csrf_token %} inside your form.
3. Check settings.py TEMPLATES section BACKEND if you have changed template engine. If you are using a custom template engine make sure it supports rendering this.
