How to Build a Custom User Model in Django

Please note this video is over two years old. I've left it up for those of you who might get value from it but be aware that packages update and things change. It could not work for you and that might just be because the tech has changed by now. If you experience an error, read the documentation and see what it's usage and installation guide is.

Thanks for your understanding!

In this Django tutorial, we teach you how to build a custom user model. Custom user models can be useful if you'd like to add features to your users without having to create completely new models. Sometimes the best way to improve is not by adding something, but by taking something away, and that's exactly what we do in this tutorial - strip Django of what we don't need and add only what we do need.
