Reauth

The authentication toolkit for Python

Documentation: https://frankie567.github.io/reauth/

Source Code: https://github.com/frankie567/reauth

[!WARNING] This is an early-stage project with many moving parts and mostly missing documentation. The API is not yet stable and breaking changes are expected.

Roadmap

Our vision is to build a comprehensive, flexible authentication toolkit for Python that handles everything from low-level factor primitives to high-level OIDC server capabilities.

Short-term: Core Foundation

• Factor primitives — building blocks for authentication factors
  • Email OTP
  • HOTP
  • TOTP
  • Passwords
  • Security keys
  • Passkeys
  • Social Login
• MFA authentication management — multi-factor authentication workflows

Mid-term: Integration Layer

• Sessions management — robust session handling
• ORM and web frameworks wrappers — seamless integration with popular frameworks

Long-term: Full Platform

• OIDC server — complete OpenID Connect provider implementation
• Team management — multi-user and organizational features
• And more — expanding the ecosystem

Development

Setup environment

We use uv to manage the development environment and production build, and just to manage command shortcuts. Ensure they are installed on your system.

Run unit tests

You can run all the tests with:

just test

Format the code

Execute the following command to apply linting and check typing:

just lint

Publish a new version

You can bump the version, create a commit and associated tag with one command:

just version patch

just version minor

just version major

Your default Git text editor will open so you can add information about the release.

When you push the tag on GitHub, the workflow will automatically publish it on PyPi and a GitHub release will be created as draft.

Serve the documentation

You can serve the Mkdocs documentation with:

just docs-serve

It'll automatically watch for changes in your code.
