# Fedora, RHEL
$ sudo yum install gcc openssl-devel python-devel

# Alpine Linux (Docker Containers)
$ apk add gcc openssl-dev python-dev

# (If you're on Python3, install the Python3 versions of the above packages)

# Mac
# Without setting the flags below, install will fail to find the necessary files
$ brew install openssl
$ export CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include $CFLAGS"
$ export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib $LDFLAGS"

Then install this package

pip install django-firebase-scrypt

Usage

Add this to your hashers settings.py like so

PASSWORD_HASHERS = (
  'django_firebase_scrypt.FirebaseScryptPasswordHasher',
  'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',
  'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',
  'django.contrib.auth.hashers.SHA1PasswordHasher',
  'django.contrib.auth.hashers.MD5PasswordHasher',
  'django.contrib.auth.hashers.CryptPasswordHasher',
  'django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher',
  'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher',
)

# Retrieve these from  the Firebase console - see https://firebaseopensource.com/projects/firebase/scrypt/
FIREBASE_SIGNER_KEY = "jxspr8Ki0RYycVU8zykbdLGjFQ3McFUH0uiiTvC8pVMXAn210wjLNmdZJzxUECKbm0QsEmYUSDzZvpjeJ9WmXA=="
FIREBASE_SALT_SEPARATOR = "Bw=="
FIREBASE_ROUNDS = 8
FIREBASE_MEMCOST = 14

You can also move FirebaseScryptPasswordHasher to the bottom of your hashers if you only want to use it to validate old, migrated hashes instead of generating them for new users.

Migration

Migrate your Firebase users to Django. You can do so as follows:

# Grab your users and their password hashes using the auth:export command
$ auth:export users.json

import json

import django
django.setup()
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

from django_firebase_scrypt import FirebaseScryptPasswordHasher

User = get_user_model()

with open("users.json", "r") as user_file:
    firebase_users = json.load(user_file)["users"]

for firebase_user in firebase_users:
    django_password = f"{FirebaseScryptPasswordHasher.algorithm}${firebase_user['salt']}${firebase_user['passwordHash']}"
    django_user = User(email=firebase_user["email"], password=django_password, ...any_other_user_fields)
    django_user.save()
