.. admonition:: Calling ``authenticate()`` first
When you're manually logging a user in, you *must* call
``authenticate()`` before you call ``login()``; ``authenticate()``
sets an attribute on the ``User`` noting which authentication
backend successfully authenticated that user (see the `backends
documentation`_ for details), and this information is needed later
during the login process.
