The Django integration component of the python-social-auth ecosystem, providing social authentication and registration via OAuth2 and other providers. It wraps social-auth-core so Django projects can add 'sign in with' functionality for many external identity providers.

Use cases

• add sign in with Google to a Django app
• let users register and log in with GitHub or Facebook
• implement OAuth2 social login in Django
• replace manual password auth with social providers
• integrate multiple identity providers behind one auth pipeline

When to choose

• you have a Django project and want social provider login with minimal setup
• you need support for many OAuth/OAuth2 providers from one library
• you want a mature, BSD-licensed auth integration with active maintenance

When to avoid

• your project is not Django-based (use the framework-specific sibling packages)
• you only need simple username/password auth with no external providers
• you need full control over a custom OAuth flow rather than a pipeline-based approach
