Modern Django REST Framework authentication toolkit with JWT cookies, social login, MFA, and comprehensive user management.

Built as a next-generation alternative to existing DRF authentication packages, DRF Auth Kit provides a complete authentication solution with modern developer experience, inspired by dj-rest-auth but enhanced with full type safety, automatic OpenAPI schema generation, and comprehensive MFA support inspired by django-trench.

Features

  • Multiple Authentication Types: JWT (default), DRF Token, or Custom
  • Cookie-Based Security: HTTP-only cookies
  • Complete User Management: Registration, password reset, email verification
  • Multi-Factor Authentication: Support multiple MFAs with backup codes
  • Social Authentication: Django Allauth integration with 50+ providers, support for both OAuth2 and OpenID connect.
  • Internationalization: Built-in support for 57 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and more
  • Full Type Safety: Complete type hints with mypy and pyright
  • OpenAPI Integration: Auto-generated API documentation with DRF Spectacular
  • Flexible Configuration: Customizable serializers, views, and authentication backends

    'allauth.account',  # Required for social auth
    # 'allauth.socialaccount',  # For social login
    # 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.google',  # For Google login
    'auth_kit',
    # 'auth_kit.social',  # For social authentication
    # 'auth_kit.mfa',  # For MFA support
]

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'auth_kit.authentication.JWTCookieAuthentication',
    ],
}

# Override only if needed:
# AUTH_KIT = {
#     'USE_MFA': True,  # Enable MFA
# }

# Google OAuth2 settings (for social login)
# SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
#     'google': {
#         'SCOPE': ['profile', 'email'],
#         'AUTH_PARAMS': {'access_type': 'online'},
#         'OAUTH_PKCE_ENABLED': True,
