Django: Add Social Authentication¶
Registering and logging-in with a username and password is great for most use cases. However, it’d be even better if we could bypass that registration process altogether and use a service that already authenticates users. Let’s implement some social authentication.
NOTE: THERE ARE NOT NOR WILL THERE BE LECTURE NOTES FOR THIS. YOU ARE DEVELOPERS NOW. EXECUTE USING DOCUMENTATION. Good places to start: here and also here.
Tasks¶
Your Learning Journals had you authenticate using your GitHub username. Let’s have the imager app do the same. Fulfill these user stories:
- As a user, I want to be able to log into the imager app with my GitHub account.
- As a user, I want to be able to register and log in with a username/password combination if I don’t have a GitHub account.
- As a user, I want the way to log in with my GitHub account to be obvious
Stretch Stories (2 pts each)¶
