django-rapyd-modernauth 0.0.4

A Django application that provides a custom User model where the username is the email address.

# Django Rapyd ModernAuth

This package provides a custom User model where the username is the email address.

## Inspiration

Users today expect to use their email address as the username during authentication. This works well because:

• Users already know their email addresses by heart.

• Since email addresses are unique, users don’t need to remember yet another item when either signing up or logging into web applications. IMHO this is a significant factor that plays a vital role in user adoption.

• This is a time tested model and many web applications today follow this.

However, Django’s default approach for authentication requires a user provide both a username and an email address during sign up and then just use the username during login.

## Usage

Note: Django recommends you do this right at the beginning of the project. Making this change mid-project becomes significantly harder.

• Install the package with: ` pip install django-rapyd-modernauth `

• Edit Django settings: - Add modernauth to INSTALLED_APPS. - Set AUTH_USER_MODEL = modernauth.User.

• Create models with: ` ./manage.py migrate `
