Django app for user authentication

DjaoDjin-Signup

This repository contains a Django App for frictionless signup.

The app will register and login a user with as little as only an email address.

When the user logs out and tries to logs back in with the same email address, the app will first verify the email address through an activation url send to the registered email address. Setting the password is deferred to after the email address has been verified.

If during the first login and/or subsequent login, the email address should be verified before moving forward (ex: before presenting a payment view), you should decorate the view with an active_required decorator.

This project contains bare bone templates which are compatible with Django and Jinja2 template engines. To see djaodjin-signup in action as part of a full-fledged subscription-based session proxy, take a look at djaoapp.
