authenticate issues with custom backends in 2.1rc1

[DirkBo]

After updating from 2.0.7 to 2.1rc1 when i call django.contrib.auth.authenticate(), my custom authentication Backends are now completely ignored, only django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend is used.

Is this happening for someone else or did i miss some changes?

Do you have deprecation warnings with Django 2.0.x? https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/upgrade-version/#resolving-deprecation-warnings

From the 2.1 release notes: "The authenticate() method of authentication backends requires request as the first positional argument."

From the 1.11 release notes: "authenticate() now passes a request argument to the authenticate() method of authentication backends. Support for methods that don’t accept request as the first positional argument will be removed in Django 2.1."

Thanks! That was it! 

But no, I dont remeber ever seeing a deprecation warning about this.
