Answer 1

Override _clean methods and put your checks in them. You can modify cleaned_data from there.

E.g:

def clean_password(self):
    new1 = self.cleaned_data['password']
    return new1

Every fields in the form will have a field_name_clean() method created automatically by Django. This method is called when you do form.is_valid().
