Authentication with Email

Hi,

I am fairly new to Django and have started building a website that will require users to create an account with a username, email address, and password. Users will log in with their email address and password, not username.

There has been a lot of discussion about this topic in the past, but I was wondering what the current best practice is for solving these problems:

1. User email address is required and unique

2. Must log in with email address and password

3. Add additional fields to models.user

4. Must not impact other built-in apps or third-party apps

One approach is to extend models.user by way of a one-to-one relationship, as described in the docs. But that does not solve #1 and #2.

Which approach do you recommend as a long-term solution?

Thanks!
