Complete Two-Factor Authentication for Django

Project description

Complete Two-Factor Authentication for Django. Built on top of django.contrib.auth for providing the easiest integration into most Django projects. Inspired by the user experience of Google’s Two-Step Authentication, allowing users to authenticate through call, text messages (SMS) or by using an app like Google Authenticator.

This project is in alpha state. Although there are no known problems, the project has not yet received a lot of real life experience. If you run into problems, please file an issue on GitHub, or contribute to the project by forking the repository and sending some pull requests.

Demo

The repository on GitHub includes a demo app, which can be used for testing purposes. Please have a look at this demo app if you are thinking about giving this app a spin.

Installation

Installation with pip:

$ pip install django-two-factor-auth

Add 'two_factor' to the INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'two_factor',
)

Configure the authentication backends like so:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    'two_factor.auth_backends.TokenBackend',
    'two_factor.auth_backends.VerifiedComputerBackend',
)

Configure the login url:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy
LOGIN_URL = reverse_lazy('tf:login')

Add the url routes:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    url(r'^tf/', include('two_factor.urls', 'tf')),
)

Be sure to remove any other login routes, otherwise the two-factor authentication might be circumvented. The admin interface should be automatically patched to use the new login method.

Settings

TF_SMS_GATEWAY

Which module should be used to send text messages. It defaults to two_factor.sms_gateways.Fake, which echoes the text messages to the console. A gateway for Twilio comes prepackaged, see the settings below.

TF_CALL_GATEWAY

Which module should be used for calls. It defaults to two_factor.call_gateways.Fake, which echoes the call message to the console. A gateway for Twilio comes prepackaged, see the settings below.

Twilio

Gateways for sending text message and initiating calls trough Twilio come prepackaged. All you need is your Twilio Account SID and Token, as shown in your Twilio account dashboard.

TF_CALL_GATEWAY = 'two_factor.call_gateways.Twilio'
TF_SMS_GATEWAY = 'two_factor.sms_gateways.Twilio'
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = '***'
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = '***'
TWILIO_CALLER_ID = '[verified phone number]'
TWILIO_SMS_CALLER_ID = '[verified phone number]'

Todo / Wish List

  • Test suite

  • More extensive documentation

  • Different security levels, only requiring two-factor authentication for very sensitive parts of applications

Contributing

  • Fork the repository on GitHub and start hacking

  • Send a pull request with your changes
