dj-rest-auth provides drop-in authentication and registration endpoints for Django REST Framework, including login, logout, password management, email verification, JWT with HTTP-only cookies, MFA, passkeys, and social auth via django-allauth. It is a Python library that integrates with Django's auth system and DRF to serve SPAs and mobile apps.

Use cases

• add login and logout API endpoints to a Django REST Framework project
• implement JWT authentication with HTTP-only cookies for a React SPA
• add user registration with email verification to a REST API
• support social login with Google, GitHub, or Facebook in a Django backend
• enable passkey/WebAuthn passwordless login for a mobile app
• add MFA with TOTP and recovery codes to a DRF API
• implement password reset and password change endpoints

When to choose

• you are building a Django REST Framework backend that needs authentication for SPAs or mobile clients
• you want ready-made, secure auth endpoints instead of writing them yourself
• you need JWT token auth with cookie handling or social login via django-allauth

When to avoid

• your project does not use Django or Django REST Framework
• you need authentication for a non-Python backend stack
• you want a fully custom auth flow with no prebuilt endpoints
