A Django app that handles MFA, it supports TOTP, U2F, FIDO2 U2F (Web Authn), Email Tokens , Trusted Devices and backup codes.
Web Authencation API (WebAuthn) is state-of-the art techology that is expected to replace passwords.
For FIDO2, the following are supported
- security keys (Firefox 60+, Chrome 67+, Edge 18+, Safari 13 on Mac OS, Chrome on Andriod, Safari on iOS 13.3+),
- Windows Hello (Firefox 67+, Chrome 72+ , Edge),
- Apple's Touch ID/Face ID (Chrome 70+ on Mac OS X, Safari on macOS Big Sur, Safari on iOS 14.0+ ),
- android-safetynet (Chrome 70+, Firefox 68+)
- NFC devices using PCSC (Not Tested, but as supported in fido2)
- Soft Tokens
krypt.co: Login by a notification on your phone.
Update: Dec 2022, krypt.co has been killed by Google for Passkeys.
In English :), It allows you to verify the user by security keys on PC, Laptops or Mobiles, Windows Hello (Fingerprint, PIN) on Windows 10 Build 1903+ (May 2019 Update) Touch/Face ID on Macbooks (Chrome, Safari), Touch/Face ID on iPhone and iPad and Fingerprint/Face/Iris/PIN on Android Phones.
Trusted device is a mode for the user to add a device that doesn't support security keys like Android without fingerprints or NFC.
Note: U2F and FIDO2 can only be served under secure context (https)
Package tested with Django 1.8, Django 2.2 on Python 2.7 and Python 3.5+ but it was not checked with any version in between but open for issues.
If you just need WebAuthn and Passkeys, you can use django-passkeys, which is a slim-down of this app and much easier to integrate.

Break your login function
Usually your login function will check for username and password, log the user in if the username and password are correct and create the user session, to support mfa, this has to change
- authenticate the user
- if username and password are correct , check if the user has mfa or not
- if user has mfa then redirect to mfa page
- if user doesn't have mfa then call your function to create the user session
def login(request): # this function handles the login form POST user = auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password) if user is not None: # if the user object exist from mfa.helpers import has_mfa res = has_mfa(username = username,request=request) # has_mfa returns false or HttpResponseRedirect if res: return res return log_user_in(request,username=user.username) #log_user_in is a function that handles creatung user session, it should be in the setting file as MFA_CALLBACK
-
Add mfa to urls.py
import mfa import mfa.TrustedDevice urls_patterns= [ '...', url(r'^mfa/', include('mfa.urls')), url(r'devices/add$', mfa.TrustedDevice.add,name="mfa_add_new_trusted_device"), # This short link to add new trusted device '....', ]
-
Provide
mfa_auth_base.html
in your templates with block called 'head' and 'content', The template will be included during the user login, the template shall be close to the login template. If you will use Email Token method, then you have to provide template namedmfa_email_token_template.html
that will content the format of the email with parameter nameduser
andotp
. -
To match the look and feel of your project, MFA includes
base.html
but it needs blocks namedhead
&content
to added its content to it. Note: Starting v2.3.0, a new templatemfa_base.html
is introduced, this template is used byMFA.html
so you can control the styling better and currentmfa_base.html
extendsbase.html
-
Somewhere in your app, add a link to 'mfa_home'
<li><a href="{% url 'mfa_home' %}">Security</a> </li>
For Example, See 'example' app and look at EXAMPLE.md to see how to set it up.
To be able to go passwordless for returning users, create a cookie named 'base_username' containing username as shown in snippet below
response = render(request, 'Dashboard.html', context))
if request.session.get("mfa",{}).get("verified",False) and getattr(settings,"MFA_QUICKLOGIN",False):
if request.session["mfa"]["method"]!="Trusted Device":
response.set_cookie("base_username", request.user.username, path="/",max_age = 15*24*60*60)
return response
Second, update the GET part of your login view
if "mfa" in settings.INSTALLED_APPS and getattr(settings,"MFA_QUICKLOGIN",False) and request.COOKIES.get('base_username'):
username=request.COOKIES.get('base_username')
from mfa.helpers import has_mfa
res = has_mfa(username = username,request=request,)
if res: return res
## continue and return the form.
Sometimes you like to verify that the user is still there so simple you can ask django-mfa2 to check that for you
{% include 'mfa_check.html' %}
function success_func() {
//logic if mfa check succeeds
}
function fail_func() {
//logic if mfa check fails
}
function some_func() {
recheck_mfa(success_func,fail_func,MUST_BE_MFA)
//MUST_BE_MFA true or false, if the user must has with MFA
