Hey Tafadzwa Timothy Gakaka So you said in your other post that you are stuck on the 3rd challenge which is asking: Add DataRequired and Email to the validators for the email field.

I am not sure where all of your other code is coming from because none of the challenges before it asked for Validators in the password field, or either of those functions. Keep it simple. The 2nd challenge asked for the SignUpForm class with email equaling a string field and the password equaling a password field. But nothing else was required therefor all of your extra code is causing the challenge to error out.
