This project provides a custom user model that improves on Django’s default by making a few modern and international changes.

  • Uses email as the username to simplify login for users

  • Replace first_name and last_name with international friendly short_name full name fields

Usage

Perform the following steps in your settings.py file.

  1. Add improved_user.apps.ImprovedUserConfig (or simply improved_user) to INSTALLED_APPS

  2. Define or replace AUTH_USER_MODEL with he new model, as below.

    AUTH_USER_MODEL='improved_user.User'

  3. In Django > 1.9, change UserAttributeSimilarityValidator to match correct User fields, as shown below.

    AUTH_PREFIX = 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.'
AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
    {
        'NAME': AUTH_PREFIX + 'UserAttributeSimilarityValidator',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'user_attributes': ('email', 'full_name', 'short_name')
        },
    },
    # include other password validators here
]
