Use Email to Login With Django Auth

[Ryan Shepard]

How could i go about allowing people to also use their email to sign into Django instead of a username? I have done research my self and tried creating my own backend for it. But it doesn't work.

You can query for the given email and get the username, then getting the username do normal Django authentication.

Thanks for the kind words.
