Django (using TokenAuthentication): “non_field_errors”: "Unable to log in with provided credentials?

Question

I\'m using httpie to test my custom authentication.

http POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-token-auth/ username=\'username1\' password=\'Password123\'

Answer 1

OK I solved it. Inside my settings, I just had to remove the AUTHENTICATIONS_BACKEND. I thought my custom backend was different for merely logging a user in and the token authentication backend worked to get that token.
