Comment:
I think this is in "write your own backend" territory. It's fairly simple
to subclass `ModelBackend` and provide your own authentication using
whatever database you choose. Once you start doing "special things" with
auth, you're almost certainly going to have to write a custom backend.
[Also, this mixes up what arguments `authenticate()` takes: it's supposed
to be `**credentials`, but the database isn't exactly considered
credentials, I think.]
