I have a django project in which I am using Django-rest-auth to do authentication. I want to use email with password to authenticate the user and not the username+password.
I have following settings in my settings.py but it didn't do anything for me:
REST_SESSION_LOGIN = True
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'EMAIL'
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'optional'
How can I achieve it?
Following setting worked:
#This is required otherwise it asks for email server
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
# ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
# AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'EMAIL'
# ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'optional'
ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'email'
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = False
#Following is added to enable registration with email instead of username
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
# Needed to login by username in Django admin, regardless of `allauth`
"django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
# `allauth` specific authentication methods, such as login by e-mail
"allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend",
)
