A Django application that enables you to have your users use their email address instead of their username
Project description
django-email-login
Log in via email for django 1.4. Forked from django-email-login
Goals
The goal of this app is to easily transform django’s auth system to allow login with an email adress, instead of a username. This should work inside the admin as well as outside. Therefore, email adresses need to be unique.
The username of the User will be the hash of it’s email adress. As it means nothing, it will be hidden in the admin changelist view.
Install
Install with pip install django-email-login or checkout from Bitbucket hg clone https://bitbucket.org/tino/django-email-login and run python setup.py install.
Usage
Append 'email_login' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting
Insert 'email_login.auth_backend.EmailBackend' as first in the AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS settings tuple.
Add the following in you root urls.py after admin.autodiscover():
# Insert email_login overrides from email_login import useradmin, adminsite site = adminsite.EmailLoginAdminSite() # duplicate the normal admin's registry until ticket #8500 get's fixed site._registry = admin.site._registry
Instead of using:
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin: (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
use:
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin: (r'^admin/', include(site.urls)),
to include the admin in your root urls.py.
To use login outside of the admin, add:
(r'^account/', include('email_login.urls')),
to your urls.py
In conjunction with django-user-creation
If you want to use this app in conjunction with django-user-creation, you have to create your own ModelAdmin for User. You may do so by adding a useradmin.py file to your project with the following contents:
from django.contrib import admin from django.contrib.auth.models import User from user_creation.forms import EmailAccountCreationForm from email_login.useradmin import EmailLoginAdmin class MyUserAdmin(EmailLoginAdmin): add_form = EmailAccountCreationForm add_fieldsets = ( (None, { 'classes': ('wide',), 'fields': ('email', 'password1', 'password2', 'email_user')} ), ) admin.site.unregister(User) admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)
and adding the line import useradmin to your urls.py after the overrides described above.
