Username as email

[Soumen Khatua]

Hi Folks,

Any have any idea in real time how programmers manage email id as username only. Because django provide different fields for username and email id. So how I can overcome to this problem??

Thank you in advance. 

Regards,

I maintain one project which does this with a save hook on the User model, setting the username to the email address field (with uniqueness tests, of course).

It’s crude, but seems to work well and hasn’t given any problems.

Hi,

In Speedy Net users can login either with username or with email. And notice, users may have more than one email address. You can look at the code on GitHub. You can set function get_by_natural_key in the user manager to find the user by email address. For example:

https://github.com/speedy-net/speedy-net/blob/master/speedy/core/accounts/managers.py#L30-L31 

Please notice also that this form converts the email to lowercase, so that also uppercase email is accepted in the login form. The email is always saved as lowercase in the database (when the user registered or adds a new email address).
