I'm codding a simple app. Right now, I made a log in page. But the buttons seems to not be working. The issues is that the buttons are not "linked" to the python class. And so, they don't have acess to the functions that describe their behavior.
When it was a .kv file, this issues didn't happen. I know I could just stranfer it back into a kivy file. But I am still knew at kivy, and I want to learn (and not find an easy way out).
Here is my code.

Reset to default 0Your code for the reset button in the kv should be:
on_press: root.reseting_login()
If you use app instead of root, then the reseting_login() method will be expected to be in the app class, which is egy. If you use LoginScreen instead of root, then you are calling the reseting_login() method as if it were a static method, which it is not. You haven't included your non-kv approach, so I cannot comment on that.
The root in the above snippet refers to the root of the current kv rule, which is <LoginScreen>:
