I agree that it is time for django to change it (at least making the changes easier).
On my project I did create a new user model that inherit from AbstractUser class UserManager(BaseUserManager): ... class User(AbstractBaseUser): email = models.EmailField(unique=True) objects = UserManager() USERNAME_FIELD = 'email' I didn't have an password field because I use a third party(google identity toolkit to authenticate) but you can have one. Here is the full models if you want a sample <https://github.com/kaisaf/gearcircles/blob/master/gc_project/users/models.py> .
