Installation

Install via pip:

Setup & Configuration

After installing, you need to integrate it into your Django project.

1. Add to Installed Apps

In your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'rest_framework',
    'rest_framework.authtoken',
    'authsimplified',
]

2. Configure Authentication Backends

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'authsimplified.User'

3. Configure Django REST Framework

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
    ],
}

4. Configure SMTP for Email Sending

AuthSimplified sends OTPs via email.
You need to configure SMTP settings in your settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.yourmailprovider.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'your_email@example.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your_password'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER

Using Gmail SMTP

If you want to use Gmail:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'yourgmail@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your_gmail_app_password'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER

Note: For Gmail, you need to create an App Password from your Google account settings.
Go to Google Account → Security → App passwords and generate one.

5. Include AuthSimplified URLs

In your project’s urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('auth/', include('authsimplified.urls')),
]

6. Run Migrations

python manage.py migrate
