I'm trying to make a sign-in/login system using replit.com's db library, i keep running into an issue where i get a TypeError saying that 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

Code of issue:

Python
def signup():
	username = str(input('Username> '))
	password = str(input('Password> '))
	try:
		if db[username]:
			print('username taken!')
	except KeyError:
			db[username] = {
				'Username':username,
				'Password':password,
				'Money':50,
				'TotalBetting':0,
				'TotalProfit':0,
			}
			print(db[str(username)])


Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 45 in <module>
    signup()
  File "main.py", line 18, in signup
    if db[username]:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

I dont know if it is assigning username/password as the input function, even though it should be returning a string

What I have tried:

I have tried to rework the code multiple times, didnt work
Looked everywhere for an answer but nothing had the same issue that i was looking for
