Hello, I have looked at the documentation basically it looks like too much work for a simple thing. Are there any benefits to using the contrib.auth infrastructure instead of simply adding an e-mail and password fields to my existing model describing a user's profile (except for authorization in the contrib.admin app which is nice but will never be seen by my end users)? In the future I'm planning on adding authentication over Facebook's and Google's services (OAuth) - would these kind of things be more convenient to do with contrib.auth or my own auth data? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
