"UserSocialAuth.user" must be a "MyUser" instance

Hi,

I am using custom user model and keep getting the following error:

Django Version: 1.8.2
Exception Type: ValueError
Exception Value:    
Cannot assign "'38ce3451a9d68210ad038b09fb29b0df7b58e46a'": "UserSocialAuth.user" must be a "MyUser" instance.
Exception Location: C:\Users\Ohm\Desktop\app_virt\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\fields\related.py in __set__, line 627
Python Executable:  C:\Users\Ohm\Desktop\app_virt\Scripts\python.exe
Python Version: 2.7.9

My setttings in settings.py are:

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'authentication.MyUser'

SOCIAL_AUTH_USER_MODEL = AUTH_USER_MODEL

Could somebody spot the issue? Thank you.

I have found the issue. My create_user function returns string instead of user object:

WRONG:

    def create_user(self, email=None, password=None):
        .......
        user.save()
        return user.new_email_key <---------------- (x)

CORRECT:

    def create_user(self, email=None, password=None):
        .......
        user.save()
        return user <---------------- (/)

I have also found that the SOCIAL_AUTH_USER_MODEL variable is not required when using custom user model in Django (the app automatic get the value from AUTH_USER_MODEL).
