Disclaimer: I am writing this to learn more about custom authentication in django. Inspired by Is it time for password-less login? by Ben Brown
Run this command to install django-nopassword
pip install django-nopassword
Django >= 1.4 (1.5 custom user is supported)
Add the app to installed apps

)Set the authentication backend to EmailBackend
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'django_nopassword.backends.EmailBackend', )
Add urls to your urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
url(r'^accounts/', include('django_nopassword.urls')),
...
)default: 900 (15 minutes)
