I have created a different version of the User model where there is no username field and I am now trying to implement a sign in feature, but I keep getting the error
Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'polls.User'
I have searched the rest of this site and tried to implement the feature beneath to fix the problem but to no avail.
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()
Here is the rest of my files

If anyone could provide any clarity on this it would be greatly appreciated
