I want to add a convenience/model method to the django.contrib.auth.models.User model. What is the best practice for doing this since, last time I checked, extending the User model was considered bad practice. I have a separate custom UserProfile model.

The backend works when I log in with a user name but for some reason does not with an email. Is there something I am forgetting to do? from django.conf import settings from django.contrib.auth.models import User class EmailOrUsernameModelBackend(object): """ This is a ModelBacked that allows authentication with either a username or an email address.

I hope you can help me figure the best way to implement a manual (server-side initiated) login without using the password. Let me explain the workflow: User registers Thank you! An email with an activation link has been sent blablabla (Account now exists but is marked not enabled) User opens email, clicks link (Account is enabled) Thank you! You can now use the site What I'm trying to do is log in the user after he has clicked the email link so he can start using the website right away. I can't use his password since it's encrypted in the DB, is the only option writing a custom authentication
