Removing case sensitivity from Email in Django login form

Question

Before anyone marks it as duplicate, I\'ve searched everywhere and didn\'t find. I\'ve created a custom UserModel and used Email as main authenticating id instead of usernam

Answer 1

When creating the account entry, interpret the email as email.lower() to create a normalised entry in your database.

When parsing the email/username from a log in form, you should also use email.lower() to match the database entry.

Note: the normalize_email only sanitises the domain portion of an email address:

classmethod normalize_email(email)

Normalizes email addresses by lowercasing the domain portion of the email address.
