Complete Two-Factor Authentication for Django

Project description

Build Status Test Coverage PyPI

Complete Two-Factor Authentication for Django. Built on top of the one-time password framework django-otp and Django’s built-in authentication framework 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 a token generator app like Google Authenticator.

I would love to hear your feedback on this package. 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. The package is currently translated into English, Dutch, Hebrew and Arabic. Please contribute your own language using Transifex.

Example

Test drive this app through the online example app, hosted by Heroku. It demos most features except the Twilio integration. It also includes django-user-sessions for providing Django sessions with a foreign key to the user. Although the package is optional, it provides better account security control over django.contrib.sessions.

Compatibility

Compatible with Django 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.

Installation

Installation with pip:

$ pip install django-two-factor-auth

Add the following apps to the INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_otp',
    'django_otp.plugins.otp_static',
    'django_otp.plugins.otp_totp',
    'two_factor',
)

Configure a few urls:

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

# this one is optional
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = reverse_lazy('two_factor:profile')

Add the url routes:

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

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

TWO_FACTOR_SMS_GATEWAY (default: None)

The module that should be used for sending text messages.

TWO_FACTOR_CALL_GATEWAY (default: None)

The module that should be used for making calls.

TWO_FACTOR_PATCH_ADMIN (default: True)

Whether the admin should be patched to use the two-factor authentication method. Disabling this setting would allow circumventing two-factor authentication.

Gateway two_factor.gateways.fake.Fake

Prints the tokens to the logger. You will have to set the message level of the two_factor logger to INFO for them to appear in the console. Useful for local development.

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'two_factor': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'INFO',
        }
    }
}

Gateway two_factor.gateways.twilio.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.

TWO_FACTOR_CALL_GATEWAY = 'two_factor.gateways.twilio.Twilio'
TWO_FACTOR_SMS_GATEWAY = 'two_factor.gateways.twilio.Twilio'
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = '***'
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = '***'
TWILIO_CALLER_ID = '[verified phone number]'
