Could not encripte custom auth user email field #28

Closed lijoev closed 4 years ago

lijoev commented 4 years ago

I have modified django auth to use email as my username. I need to save the email encripted using django-cryptography. I tried to use encrypt function in email field in my model.py. but it throws me the below error

django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Unsupported lookup 'exact' for EncryptedEmailField or join on the field not permitted, perhaps you meant exact or iexact?

I get this error when i create superuser and register new user.

Encrypted fields are not indexable, as such you are not able to perform any matches against the fields contents.
