Fixed minimal version, works with Django 1.7+, tested on Django 1.9.

Add the following to your settings:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    'project.backends.UserModelEmailBackend',    # Login w/ email
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',    # Login w/ username
]

class UserModelEmailBackend(ModelBackend):

    def authenticate(self, username="", password="", **kwargs):
        try:
            user = get_user_model().objects.get(email__iexact=username)
            if check_password(password, user.password):
                return user
            else:
                return None
        except get_user_model().DoesNotExist:
            # No user was found, return None - triggers default login failed
            return None
