Hi Yonas,

the best place to start is probably to look at thrid party packages, e.g.:

https://github.com/django-otp/django-otp
https://github.com/jazzband/django-two-factor-auth
https://github.com/mkalioby/django-mfa2
https://gitlab.com/stavros/django-webauthin
https://github.com/xi/django-mfa3 (mine)

I am not convinced that moving this into django is the best approach though. There is just so many ways you can do MFA/passwordless. Recovery in particular is complex with a lot of different solutions, depending on context.

I also noticed that you omitted FIDO2/webauthn from your list of protocols. It is the newest of these protocols and requires a very different architecture, but I guess that IETF and W3C had reasons to choose it.

I do agree that a simple, opinionated solution in django itself could push 2FA adaption and therefore general security on the web, which is clearly a good thing. But I still think this works better in a third party app such as django-mfa3.

best,
tobias

Hello,

The idea to implement MFA (2FA) has been brought up a couple of times over the past years. And the community seems interested.

I am willing to implement this feature (HOTP, TOTP, and email). However, a QR code generator is required.

If someone can help with this, it would be awesome. Otherwise, what do you think about bringing a third-party QR code generator into core?

If both options are not feasible, displaying the secret key to the user is another alternative (not ideal). But the developer has the freedom to install a third-party package and show the QR code.

Best,
Yonas
