## What it is
A Django package providing complete two-factor authentication built on top of django-otp and Django's built-in auth framework. It supports token generator apps, SMS, phone calls, and YubiKey hardware tokens with easy integration into existing Django projects.

## Use cases
- add two-factor authentication to a django app
- enable totp login with google authenticator in django
- send 2fa codes via sms in django
- support yubikey hardware tokens for django login
- secure django admin with a second auth factor

## When to choose
- you run a Django project and want battle-tested 2FA with minimal integration effort
- you need multiple second-factor methods (TOTP, SMS, call, YubiKey)
- you want a package maintained under the Jazzband organization with regular releases

## When to avoid
- you use Flask, FastAPI, or a non-Django Python framework
- you need 2FA for a frontend-only SPA without a Django backend
- you need passkey/WebAuthn-first flows not covered by django-otp

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: auth, security
- domain: security, web-development, backend
- platform: python
