I have been having great difficulties understanding how to log into my own website. I have users registered in my database, I have created another ModelForm aside from the registration form. I just do not understand how the login view will check to see if the (email) & (password) is in the database and actually log the user in the main website area. Could someone give me a better explanation on how to check the database to see if the information is correct and log into your own website?
NOTE: I am not looking for anything to do with admin.py or the admin page, this is what I seem to find a lot of information on.
