I'm new at flask can you direct e where I'm mistaken PS I'm working with flaskwtf V1.0.1

Solution

Change the line that adds submit in login.html from

        <div class="form-group">
            <input type="submit" value="Create" >
        </div>

to

        <div class="form-group">
            {{DisplayField(form.submit, 'Create')}}
        </div>

If you are using Flask WTF all fields in the form must come from the library.

P.S. I don't know where you got the confirm variable to check the password from. It may not work for you either. If you want the user to enter the password twice, read here: wtforms.validators.EqualTo
