✅

You shouldn’t call your backend methods directly. Instead, use the functions defined in django.contrib.auth:

from django.contrib.auth import authenticate


class MyAuthForm(AuthenticationForm):
    ...
    def clean(self):
        ...
        self.user_cache = authenticate(username=self.cleaned_data['username'],
            password=self.cleaned_data['password'], v_code=self.cleaned_data['v_code'])
        ...

This will try each configured backend until authentication is successful.
