My custom user model:
class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser):
username = models.CharField(unique=True,max_length=30)
email = models.EmailField(unique=True,max_length=75)
is_staff = models.IntegerField(default=False)
is_active = models.IntegerField(default=False)
date_joined = models.DateTimeField(default=None)
# Use default usermanager
objects = UserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
Is there a way to specify multiple USERNAME_FIELD ? Something like ['email','username'] so that users can login via email as well as username ?
The USERNAME_FIELD setting does not support a list. You could create a custom authentication backend that tries to look up the user on the 'email' or 'username' fields.
from django.db.models import Q
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
MyUser = get_user_model()
class UsernameOrEmailBackend(object):
def authenticate(self, username=None, password=None, **kwargs):
try:
# Try to fetch the user by searching the username or email field
user = MyUser.objects.get(Q(username=username)|Q(email=username))
if user.check_password(password):
return user
except MyUser.DoesNotExist:
# Run the default password hasher once to reduce the timing
# difference between an existing and a non-existing user (#20760).
MyUser().set_password(password)
Then, in your settings.py set AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS to your authentication backend:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ('path.to.UsernameOrEmailBackend,)\
Note that this solution isn't perfect. For example, password resets would only work with the field specified in your USERNAME_FIELD setting.
