    return render_to_response('signup_test.html',{'state':state, 'email': email},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Answer 1

The authenticate() method checks a username and a password .

You should modify this line:

user = authenticate(email=email, password=password)

to be:

user = authenticate(username=email, password=password)

However, this is assuming that you have set up authentication to accept an email as a username.

Answer 2

By default django support login with username so try some thing like

user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
    if user.is_active:
        login(request, user)
        # Redirect to a success page.
    else:
        # Return a 'disabled account' error message
        ...
else:

Follow this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/default/#authenticating-users

check your user in your database first

Remember to use the set_password() that inserts the encrypted password to create users. Example:

if form.is_valid():
    user = form.save(commit = False)
    user.set_password(form.cleaned_data['password'])
    user.save()

Login view

您只需将电子邮件字段设置为唯一，那么它应该只允许唯一用户，否则会引发验证错误，例如“使用此电子邮件的用户已存在”。
