Comment:
Thanks for the ticket, however `BaseBackend` methods return `None` as it's
the proper value for invalid credentials, see
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/contrib/auth/#django.contrib.auth.backends.BaseBackend
docs]:
> ''"A base class that provides default implementations for all required
methods. By default, it will reject any user and provide no
permissions."''
Unfortunately, both your propositions are backward incompatible and
against the current docs. Hope it makes sense.
