Re: Cannot login with user credentials

> I can save and create a new user. Also I can see the hashed password in the admin. However when I try to login with the `email` and `password` of the new user, I am not being authenticated. To check if I am actually getting any password, I tried printing the self.cleaned_data["password"] in the UserCreationForm, and in the console I can see the password I gave. What am I doing wrong here? Please help me.

If you're only using the default authentication back-end, did you set AUTH_USER_MODEL accordingly?

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/auth/customizing/#substituting-a-custom-user-model

I see you've set USERNAME_FIELD to 'email', but since you've mentioned you can log in using a super user (and I presume a user name and not an email address), I suspect you are missing the AUTH_USER_MODEL setting.

Are you using a custom authentication back-end that can handle looking for an email address as a username? If you want logins via both a user name and email address to work, you'll need to implement that with a custom back-end.
