 I've built a site that uses django-registration to manage user account
 creation. I allow inactive users to log in, with minimal functionality: I
 use middleware to kick them to a page that reminds them to confirm their
 account.

 To do this, I copied the whole `AuthenticationForm.clean()` method from
 `django.contrib.auth.forms` to my custom authentication_form, and removed
 two lines:
 {{{
   elif not self.user_cache.is_active:
     raise forms.ValidationError(_("This account is inactive."))
 }}}

 From my code's perspective, it would be nicer if the base
 `AuthenticationForm` had a class-level setting to toggle whether this
 check happens. Then all I would have to do is subclass the form with an
 override, like
 {{{
 class MyAuthenticationForm(AuthenticationForm):
   allow_inactive_logins = True
 }}}
