Re: How to use email as user login name

Not very sure about what you mean, because I'm new to Django.
I did see a django snippet about this. But it seems only deal with
login. How about sign up? Because you said I can not mke username not
unique, what I should do is fill email in both username and email
field in contrib.auth.models.User, and add one more field for user
name? Is this possible?

Thank you very much.
