Hello All, I am looking to create a user model that extends the Auth "User" model, like how James Bennett outlines in his article "Extending the User Model" [1] by creating a FK to the "User" model and everything is going fine other than one issue.
I would like to make "email" become the unique field and not need "username" when creating user accounts. Now, I don't mind using username for the Django admin, but for my own user section on the front end I want people creating accounts/logging in using an email. I am wondering if there is any clear way of doing this without having to roll my own auth app? I played with the idea of having my "save()" function create a random username when saving but that is obviously an ugly solution. Is there an easier way to do this that I am overlooking? Thanks for all your time!
