Package: django-multifactor
Probably the easiest multi-factor for Django. Ships with standalone views, opinionated defaults
and a very simple integration pathway to retrofit onto mature sites. SupportsFIDO2/WebAuthnandTOTP authenticators, with removable fallback options for email, SMS, carrier pigeon, or whatever other token exchange you can think of. U2F has been removed in 0.6.This isnota passwordless authentication system. django-multifactor is a second layer of defence.FIDO2/WebAuthn is the big-ticket item for MFA. It allows the browser to interface with a myriad of biometric and secondary authentication factors.Security keys(Firefox 60+, Chrome 67+, Edge 18+),Windows Hello(Firefox 67+, Chrome 72+ , Edge) ,Apple's Touch ID(Chrome 70+ on Mac OS X ),android-safetynet(Chrome 70+)NFC devices using PCSC(Not Tested, but as supported in fido2)Python and Django SupportThis project targets modern stacks, officially supporting Python 3.8+ and Django 3.2+.Python/Django2.23.24.04.14.25.03.8YYYYN/AN/A3.9YYYYN/AN/A3.10NYYYN/AY3.11NNNYYY3.12NNNNYYPython 3.11 only works with Django 4.1.3+Installation:Install the package:pip install django-multifactorAddmultifactortosettings.INSTALLED_APPSand override whichever setting you need.MULTIFACTOR = {

}Ensure thatdjango.contrib.messagesis installed.Includemultifactor.urlsin your URLs. You can do this anywhere but I suggest somewhere similar to your login URLs, or underneath them, eg:urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/multifactor/', include('multifactor.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    ...
]And don't forget to run a./manage.py collectstaticbefore restarting Django.UsageAt this stage any authenticated user can add a secondary factor to their account by visiting (eg)/admin/multifactor/, but no view willrequiresecondary authentication. django-multifactor gives you granular control to conditionally require certain users need a secondary factor on certain views. This is accomplished through themultifactor.decorators.multifactor_protecteddecorator.from multifactor.decorators import multifactor_protected

@multifactor_protected(factors=0, user_filter=None, max_age=0, advertise=False)
def my_view(request):
    ...factorsis the minimum number of active, authenticated secondary factors. 0 will mean users will only be prompted if they have keys. It can also accept a lambda/function with one request argument that returns a number. This allows you to tune whether factors are required based on custom logic (eg if local IP return 0 else return 1)user_filtercan be a dictionary to be passed toUser.objects.filter()to see if the current user matches these conditions. If empty or None, it will match all users.max_age=600will ensure the the user has authenticated with their secondary factor within 10 minutes. You can tweak this for higher security at the cost of inconvenience.advertise=Truewill send an info-level message via django.contrib.messages with a link to the main django-multifactor page that allows them to add factors for future use. This is useful to increase optional uptake when introducing multifactor to an organisation.You can also wrap entire branches of your URLs usingdjango-decorator-include:from decorator_include import decorator_include
from multifactor.decorators import multifactor_protected

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/multifactor/', include('multifactor.urls')),
    path('admin/', decorator_include(multifactor_protected(factors=1), admin.site.urls)),
    ...
]Don't want to allow TOTP? Turn them off.You can control the factors users can pick from insettings.MULTIFACTOR:MULTIFACTOR = {
    # ...
    'FACTORS': ['FIDO2', 'TOTP'],  # <- this is the default
}Extending OTP fallback with custom transportsdjango-multifactorhas a fallback system that allows the user to be contacted via a number of sub-secure methodssimultaneously. The rationale is that if somebody hacks their email account, they'll still know something is going on when they get an SMS. Providing sane options for your users is critical to security here. A poor fallback can undermine otherwise solid factors.The included fallback usesuser.emailto send an email. You can plumb in additional functions to carry the OTP message over any
other system you like. The function should look something like:def send_carrier_pigeon(user, message):
    bird = find_bird()
    bird.attach(message)
    bird.send(user.address)
    return True  # to indicate it sentThen hook that intosettings.MULTIFACTOR:MULTIFACTOR = {
    # ...
    'FALLBACKS': {
        'email': (lambda user: user, 'multifactor.factors.fallback.send_email'),
        'pigeon': (lambda user: user.address, 'path.to.send_carrier_pigeon'),
    }
}Now if the user selects the fallback option, they will receive an emailanda pigeon. You can remove email by omitting that line. You can disable fallback entirely by setting FALLBACKS to an empty dict.Conditional bypassIt's sometimes useful to be able to be able to conditionally bypass multifactor requirements. You might be in local testing, you might be in automated testing or impersonating other users. Deactivating a security layer has obvious risks but that's between you and your gods.settings.MULTIFACTOR.BYPASSaccepts a single path to a function accepting a request. If that returns True, multifactor will bypass its normal checks on a page.MULTIFACTOR = {
    # ...
    'BYPASS': 'path.to.bypass_when_impersonating'
}These are relatively easy to implement:def bypass_when_impersonating(request):
    from loginas.utils import is_impersonated_session
    if is_impersonated_session(request):
        return True

def bypass_when_debug(request):
    from django.config import settings
    return settings.DEBUGUserAdmin integrationIt's often useful to monitor which of your users is using django-multifactor and, in emergencies, critical to be able to turn their secondary factors off. We ship a opinionated mixin class that you can add to your existing UserAdmin definition.from multifactor.admin import MultifactorUserAdmin

@admin.register(User)
class StaffAdmin(UserAdmin, MultifactorUserAdmin):
    ...It adds a column to show if that user has active factors, a filter to just show those with or without, and an inline to allow admins to turn certain keys off for their users.BrandingIf you want to use the styles and form that django-multifactor supplies, your users may think they're on another site. To help there is an empty placeholder templatemultifactor/brand.htmlthat you can override in your project. This slots in just before the h1 title tag and hastext-align: centreas standard.You can use this to include your product logo, or an explanation.
