## What it is
django-user-accounts is a reusable Django app providing extensible infrastructure for user account management, including signup, login, email confirmation, password reset, and account deletion. It supports custom User models and offers class-based views with hooksets for customization.

## Use cases
- add user signup and login to a django site
- email confirmation for new accounts
- password reset and expiration flows
- private beta signup tokens
- let users manage and delete their accounts
- support custom user models in django

## When to choose
- you need a full-featured, extensible account system for a Django project
- you want email-or-username login out of the box
- you need signup tokens for private betas

## When to avoid
- you use a framework other than Django
- you only need social/OAuth login without local accounts
- you need Django versions outside 3.2/4.2
