Credentials fail from custom Auth backend

Hello, I am using a custom auth backend and everything displays properly, except I cannot login with the credentials in my model. I have spent 5 hours on this and cannot figure it out. Please help.

views.py

class MyLogin(LoginView):
template_name = 'employees/login.html'
form_class = LoginForm


def form_valid(self, form):
user = form.get_user()
employee = Emp.objects.get(email=user)
if employee.is_active:
EmpBackend.authenticate(self.request, username=user, password=form.password)

return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())

backends.py

from django.contrib.auth.backends import ModelBackend
from .models import Emp


class EmpBackend(ModelBackend):
def authenticate(self, request, username=None, password=None, **kwargs):
try:
user = Emp.objects.get(email=username)
if user.check_password(password):
return user
except Emp.DoesNotExist:
return None

return None

def get_user(self, user_id):
try:
return Emp.objects.get(pk=user_id)
except Emp.DoesNotExist:
return None
