Description
Currently there's very little logging within the authentication subsystem, which makes it much harder to trace why a particular path is happening (in my case why TestClient.force_login wasn't working, so I ended up scattering the django codebase with print functions). Would the developers be open to a patch to increase the amount of logging (which would be at the debug level)?

Thanks for this ticket, as far as I'm aware this is a duplicate of #20495 (which is generally about increasing logging in the authentication but with concrete examples like failed login attempts). Please check this discussion.
For the future, you'll reach a wider audience if you write to the DevelopersMailingList about your ideas. A trac ticket should contain a description of what do you want to log not only an idea "...increase the amount of logging".
