Answer 1

So it is pretty simple, you can give a commit=False while saving the form
if form.is_valid():
user=form.save(commit=False)
# sets the field to False
user.is_active=False
user.save()
username = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
messages.success(request, f'Your account has been created! You are now able to log in')
return redirect('login')
you have also said that
I want to add signup email confirmation before activating user.
