Top 23 Python Authentication Projects
-
django-allauth
Integrated set of Django applications addressing authentication, registration, account management as well as 3rd party (social) account authentication.
If you don't want to use Pegasus or another paid product (presumably because of the cost), the packages I'd reach for are django-allauth for login/user stuff and dj-stripe for the Stripe integration. As for teams, there wasn't a library I was happy with so I rolled my own for Pegasus, but some people like django-tenants. It's too heavyweight for my taste as it requires a more complex dev/test/infrastructure setup with Postgres schemas, as opposed to having a single-database and handling multitenancy in the application layer. But there are pros and cons to both approaches.

Project mention: Can someone help me understand CSRF security? (context inside) | /r/django | 2023-09-25
I am using dj-rest-auth for authentication. I am using JWT token authentication. All advice on JWT tokens is to not store them in local storage. Instead, using this package I store them in HttpOnly cookie. Now, I am apparently vulnerable to CSRF attack. So I enable JWT_AUTH_COOKIE_USE_CSRF. This checks the CSRF token on authenticated requests. However, there is still the potential vulnerability known as "login CSRF" as detailed by this issue on Github. In order to account for this, there is another setting called JWT_AUTH_COOKIE_ENFORCE_CSRF_ON_UNAUTHENTICATED. This enforces CSRF on unauthenticated views (such as login).
