I later got what I did wrong...
I wanted to retrieve the user information from the form
(request.POST.get("username")), but in d form there was no input tag that
is named username nor password...
So when the view function request those informations, it was returning an
empty string that was why it did not authenticate.
I just had to add the name parameter in the input tag of login.html
