Comment (by julien):
Thank you for your work on this ticket.
I feel a bit uncomfortable adding an inherently insecure authenticate
backend to core. This feature only really makes sense for testing, so I'd
personally prefer to add it directly to the test client.
Also, the term "simple" seems a little vague to me. Something like
``force_login(user)``, or ``login(user, force=True)`` would seem more
explicit.
I'd appreciate getting another core dev's opinion about the above.
By the way, could you re-create the PR against the official Django
repository on github (instead of your own fork)?
Thanks!
