Cannot login using email in django

Question

I am trying to login using email instead of username in django, but it is not working. I am not getting any error also.

I also looked up solution for solutions in stackoverflow and other blogs/post also but not getting the output.

Can you please review my code where I am wrong/ modification needed. Any suggestions or changes are welcome.

Here is my code:

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import (BaseUserManager,AbstractBaseUser)

# Create your models here.

    def create_user(self, email,password=None):
        """
        Creates and saves a User with the given email, date of
        birth and password.
        """
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')

        user = self.model(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
        )

        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email, date_of_birth, password):
        """

            password=password,

        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

Answer 1

This line in your login_view can't be right:

username = form.cleaned_data.get("username")

Your form doesn't have a username field, it only has an email field.
