Rationale
Most existing Django apps that address the problem of social authentication focus on just
that. You typically need to integrate another app in order to support authentication via a
local account.
This approach separates the worlds of local and social authentication. However, there are
common scenarios to be dealt with in both worlds. For example, an e-mail address passed
along by an OpenID provider is not guaranteed to be verified. So, before hooking an OpenID
account up to a local account the e-mail address must be verified. So, e-mail verification
needs to be present in both worlds.
Integrating both worlds is quite a tedious process. It is definitely not a matter of simply
adding one social authentication app, and one local account registration app to your
INSTALLED_APPS list.
- This is the reason this project got started
- to offer a fully integrated authentication
app that allows for both local and social authentication, with flows that just work.
