django-multifactor: A Drop-In Multifactor Authentication Subsystem for Django
Summary
django-multifactor is a drop-in multifactor authentication (MFA) subsystem for Django websites. It supports FIDO2/WebAuthn and TOTP authenticators as primary MFA methods, with fallback options for email, SMS, or custom token exchanges. The system is designed for easy integration into existing Django sites, providing standalone views and opinionated defaults. It is explicitly not a passwordless system but rather a second layer of defense. U2F support was removed in version 0.6.
