What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any?
/account/login/


Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
We have LDAP, NIS, and AD. User is confused which authentication method to
use. I modified ./templates/accounts/login.html to display
{{siteconfig.settings.auth_backend}}. And it's showing "nis" instead of NIS
(like in admin/forms.py). 


What operating system are you using? What browser?
n/a


Please provide any additional information below.

I'm not sure it's helpful to show the authentication method name; most places have a
single method, or at least a single password.

If you need to show specific information, I suggest you alter the template for your
own installation.
