Oops i mean username, not password. Im not clear on how I can get this to override the django login functionality. Im reading more up on custom auth backends but Ill admit it's a little confusing.
Anyone have a finished example of how I can get Django to use email to login (either by making email the username field or some other method), I learn best by example.
