django-allauth-2fa
Adds two factor authentication to django-allauth
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are locked on django-allauth < 0.58.0 and need 2FA now. Low install friction, active maintenance, and no known vulnerabilities. However, strongly prefer upgrading to django-allauth 0.58.0+ and using its built-in MFA support if your project timeline allows—this package is a temporary bridge, not a long-term solution.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires django-allauth < 0.58.0; incompatible with newer versions that have built-in MFA.
- Requires Django 4.1 or 4.2 and Python 3.8–3.11 per documented compatibility matrix.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel.

# Add to Django urlpatterns and configure django-allauth, django-otp, and qrcode in settings- Whether the package works with Python versions beyond 3.11 or Django versions beyond 4.2.

- Whether the QR code generation and backup code workflows are production-ready for all use cases.
What it is and what it does
django-allauth-2fa is a Django application that backports two-factor authentication to older versions of django-allauth (before 0.58.0). It integrates with django-allauth's authentication and account management system to add a second verification layer, supporting both time-based authenticator apps (displayed via QR code) and single-use backup codes for account recovery. The package depends on django-allauth, django-otp for OTP handling, Django itself, and qrcode for QR code generation.
The package is explicitly intended as a stopgap for projects stuck on older django-allauth versions. If you are using django-allauth 0.56.0 or newer, the project's maintainers recommend using django-allauth's built-in MFA support instead. The package maintains compatibility with Django 4.1–4.2 and Python 3.8–3.11, and is actively maintained but in a limited capacity given its deprecated status for newer allauth versions.
Use it for
- Add 2FA to a Django project using django-allauth < 0.58.0 without upgrading allauth.
- Provide users with authenticator app support (TOTP) via QR code enrollment.
- Generate and manage single-use backup codes for account recovery in case of lost authenticator.
- Extend django-allauth's authentication workflow with a second verification factor for security-sensitive applications.
