I am using social login in my Django app. So, I have added additional backends in my settings.py file.

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    \'django.         


        

Answer 1

You already have the user when you save the form, so you don't need to call authenticate since you already provide the backend when calling login():

user = form.save()
login(request, user, backend='django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend')
