It integrates with Django's built-in authentication system to enable two-factor authentication without replacing the core auth backend. The package includes implementations of the standard HOTP and TOTP algorithms (RFC 4226 and RFC 6238) and supports a plugin architecture for additional OTP methods.\n\nThe project is stable and production-ready but is aging\u2014it is no longer actively developed by its original author, though the repository remains open to well-formed contributions. It targets developers who need to add OTP-based two-factor authentication to existing Django applications. For users seeking a more opinionated, higher-level solution, the description notes that django-two-factor-auth may be a better fit.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need OTP-based two-factor authentication in Django and can accept a stable but aging codebase. The package is production-ready, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, the lack of active development means you should verify that any OTP plugins you need remain compatible with your Django version, and consider django-two-factor-auth if you prefer a more actively maintained, opinionated solution."},"id":"django-otp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-otp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-otp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-otp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-07","license_spdx":"Unlicense","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-otp","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A pluggable framework for adding two-factor authentication to Django using one-time passwords."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":5148580,"position":2156,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.0"}
