Comment:
Django supports authentication backends with different set of credentials,
so they can have `authenticate()` methods with different signatures. For
example:
- `authenticate(self, request, token=None)` and
- `authenticate(self, request, username=None, password=None)`
once you can call it with a `token` and once with an
`username`/`password`. Both calls are valid. That's why `TypeError` must
be ignored (see also #31968).
