Athough Diana was too young to realize the difference, she still had many chances later. She would chose to leave when the marrige disappeared. But she didn’t want to over it. She still wanted to continue the title of "little black dresses" even the world knew they had no more feelings.
Maybe she was accustomed a line wedding dressesto be called "princess Diana". Or maybe she had done a lot for this title, she could not loss wholesale cheap evening dresses.

I have just run into this issue by developing my first django project. I still cannot see the drawbacks of implementing this in django. The aim of a framework should be to be as general as possible if it does not lead to a major tradeoff.

Hi - I implemented something like this a few years ago. I am kind surprised it is not builtin by now. I could not find James Bennet's discussion of this topic.

The website I run, requires users to login and our users are sales and marketing types (generally not very tech savy). Login is by far our biggest problem. Our users have a difficult time remembering a username. They are much better at remembering their email address. Also, we need to have their email address for password recovery.

If we used a username for login and did not require an email address for each user, we would spend half our day reminding users of their username or creating new passwords for them.

I have implemented OpenID on our development site and it works pretty well. But I am reluctant to go live with it because I think our users will be absolutely freaked out by it; too much magic.

oh...and your authenticate and get_user functions should be explicitly returning None as the last line

btw..here is your 1 liner..using the and/or trick

def authenticate(self, **credentials):
return 'username' in credentials and self.authenticate_by_username(**credentials) or self.authenticate_by_email(**credentials)

Email logins may be convenient for website administrators but in my experience is a hassle. If I don't remember which email address used to register I have to reregister. They are also longer to type if not saved by the browser password manager on the computer I happen to be on. On the other hand, prefer to use my regular login name that is short and obscure enough to be accepted everywhere.

OpenID is the real solution, though. Please add OpenID support here!

Paul: actually GMail didn't address anything, plussed-emails have been around for much longer than Gmail. Granted they may have been the first "big" email provider to provide them.

Gmail has addressed this issue, you can have multiple email addresses at the same account for example:

lastname@gmail.com
lastname+djang@gmail.com
lastname+wife@gmail.com
lastname+husband@gmail.com

I use it mainly as lastname+website@gmail.com to track which sites are spamming me but I've also used it to differentiate accounts on the same service.

Granted this only works with gmail but if youre sharing an email account you'll need unlimited storage. Also shared email accounts imply shared website accounts and probably imply 0.01% of the population, other 99.99% will find it easier to use their email.

I can't remember where, but I once heard a website owner reverting to username based login, because a few of his users complained that they shared their email addresses with their spouse/significant others. I guess the same problem occurs when only allowing unique email addresses upon sign-up.

On the other hand, in these days of free email accounts being available ubiquitously, one could argue the problem lies with the user foremost.

i love using email as authenticating name
people might not be able to choose a certain username cause it has been used, but the email address is unique for anyone
nice try!

Q: What if user changes its main email address someday?
A: He logs in with that address.

Email based logins? What if user changes its main email address someday? I'd definitely prefer good old plain usernames (or maybe openids).

Disclaimer: I'm certainly not as smart as James Bennet ;-)
