About

django-trench provides a set of REST API endpoints to supplement django-rest-framework with multi-factor authentication (MFA, 2FA). It supports both standard built-in authentication methods, as well as JWT (JSON Web Token).
We deliver a couple of sample secondary authentication methods including sending OTP based code by email, SMS/text as well as through 3rd party mobile apps or utilising YubiKey. Developers can easily add their own auth backend supporting any communication channel.

Features

  • Easily pluggable and compatible with django-rest-framework
