If what you want to achieve is to log in a user programmatically you
don't do that by authenticating by username and password.
Example:
def login_by_id(request):
user = FacebookUser.objects.get(...).user
from django.contrib.auth import load_backend, login
for backend in settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS:
if user == load_backend(backend).get_user(user.pk):
user.backend = backend
if hasattr(user, 'backend'):
login(request, user)
