First of all,
Thank you for such an amazing Framework. You guys are doing amazing work
on Django. really appreciate it. :)

Today I was using {{{AuthenticationForm}}} to log users in but I use a
custom User model and it specifies {{{USERNAME_FIELD}}} as email.
So, when I rendered the form {{{({{ form }})}}} I saw this:

{{{
<input type="text" name="username" autofocus="" autocapitalize="none"
autocomplete="off" maxlength="254" required="" id="id_username">
}}}

It was using {{{text}}} type input field Though It should render
{{{email}}} type field.

I don't know if it is a bug or it was intentional.

If it is a bug I would like to submit a PR! :)

Comment:

Yes it's intentional, this isn't worth the extra complexity.
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-
users-and-the-built-in-auth-forms The built-in auth forms] make several
assumptions about the user model. You need to create a subclass of
`AuthenticationForm` if you want to use a different widget.
