Then use GII to generate model. The GII URL will probably be
- [http://localhost/basic/web/index.php?r=gii](http://localhost/basic/web/index.php?r=gii).
- When creating the model, check this checkbox: **Enable I18N** ... we will need i18n later
- Enter table name "user" and model name "User"
- Do not create CRUD now, first replace the new User model with the code below.
 
 
- Note that there already is a model named User in the demo app. You will not need it if you want to use login-via-DB so feel free to check the overwrite-checkbox in GII. The newly created User model will now be usable only for table operations, not for login. But we will enhance it, see the snippet below. - The new model will only have 3 methods: tableName(), rules(), attributeLabels() - In order to use the DB for login, we need to implement IdentityInterface which requires [5 new methods](https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-web-identityinterface). But as I do not need all those methods, in some of them I have commented out their body in the example below.
 
- Plus we add 2 methods because of the default LoginForm
 
- Plus we add 2 methods because of the default LoginForm otherwise the web will not work. 
 
- Once you use the snippet below, you can create CRUD for model User.

The final model should look like this:

```php
<?php
