- Fixed a
RuntimeWarning
that could occur when running inside an async environment ('SyncToAsync' was never awaited
).
- As part of the Google OAuth handshake, an ID token is obtained by direct machine to machine communication between the server running django-allauth and Google. Because of this direct communication, we are allowed to skip checking the token signature according to the OpenID Connect Core 1.0 specification. However, as django-allauth is used and built upon by third parties, this is an implementation detail with security implications that is easily overlooked. To mitigate potential issues, verifying the signature is now only skipped if it was django-allauth that actually fetched the access token.
- Added support for account related security notifications. When
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS = True
, email notifications such as "Your password was changed", including information on user agent / IP address from where the change originated, will be emailed. - Google: Starting from 0.52.0, the
id_token
is being used for extracting user information. To accommodate for scenario's where django-allauth is used in contexts where theid_token
is not posted, the provider now looks up the required information from the/userinfo
endpoint based on the access token if theid_token
is absent.
- MFA: It was possible to reuse a valid TOTP code within its time window. This
has now been addressed. As a result, a user can now only login once per 30
seconds (
MFA_TOTP_PERIOD
).
- The rate limit mechanism has received an update. Previously, when specifying
e.g.
"5/m"
it was handled implicitly whether or not that limit was per IP, per user, or per action specific key. This has now been made explicit:"5/m/user"
vs"5/m/ip"
vs"5/m/key"
. Combinations are also supported now:"20/m/ip,5/m/key"
. Additionally, the rate limit mechanism is now used throughout, including email confirmation cooldown as well as limitting failed login attempts. Therefore, theACCOUNT_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_LIMIT
andACCOUNT_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_COOLDOWN
settings are deprecated. See :doc:`Rate Limits <../account/rate_limits>` for details.
- User sessions: after changing your password in case of
ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_ON_PASSWORD_CHANGE = False
, the list of sessions woud be empty instead of showing your current session. - SAML: accessing the SLS/ACS views using a GET request would result in a crash (500).
- SAML: the login view did not obey the
SOCIALACCOUNT_LOGIN_ON_GET = False
setting.
- Google One Tap Sign-In is now supported.
- You can now more easily change the URL to redirect to after a successful password
change/set via the newly introduced
get_password_change_redirect_url()
adapter method. - You can now configure the primary key of all models by configuring
ALLAUTH_DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD
, for example to:"hashid_field.HashidAutoField"
.
- You can now specify the URL path prefix that is used for all OpenID Connect
providers using
SOCIALACCOUNT_OPENID_CONNECT_URL_PREFIX
. By default, it is set to"oidc"
, meaning, an OpenID Connect provider with provider IDfoo
uses/accounts/oidc/foo/login/
as its login URL. Set it to empty (""
) to keep the previous URL structure (/accounts/foo/login/
). - The SAML default attribute mapping for
uid
has been changed to only includeurn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:attribute:subject-id
. If the SAML response does not contain that, it will fallback to useNameID
.
- The MFA authenticator model now features "created at" an "last used "at" timestamps.
- The MFA authenticator model is now registered with the Django admin.
- Added MFA signals emitted when authenticators are added, removed or (in case of recovery codes) reset.
- There is now an MFA adapter method
can_delete_authenticator(authenticator)
available that can be used to prevent users from deactivating e.g. their TOTP authenticator. - Added a new app, user sessions, allowing users to view a list of all their active sessions, as well as offering a means to end these sessions.
- A configurable timeout (
SOCIALACCOUNT_REQUESTS_TIMEOUT
) is now applied to all upstream requests. - Added a setting
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_UNKNOWN_ACCOUNTS
to disable sending of emails to unknown accounts. - You can now override the MFA forms via the
MFA_FORMS
setting.
- The account adapter method
should_send_confirmation_mail()
signature changed. It now takes an extrasignup
(boolean) parameter. - Removed OAuth 1.0 based Bitbucket provider and LinkedIn provider.
- Added rate limiting to the MFA login form.
- Fixed missing
{% load allauth %}
in the login cancelled and verified email required template.
- The
SocialAccount.extra_data
field was a custom JSON field that usedTextField
as the underlying implementation. It was once needed because Django had noJSONField
support. Now, this field is changed to use the officialJSONField()
. Migrations are in place. - Officially support Django 5.0.
- In previous versions, users could never remove their primary email address. This is constraint is now relaxed. In case the email address is not required, for example, because the user logs in by username, removal of the email address is allowed.
- Added a new setting
ACCOUNT_REAUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED
that, when enabled, requires the user to reauthenticate before changes (such as changing the primary email address, adding a new email address, etc.) can be performed.
- Refactored the built-in templates, with the goal of being able to adjust the look and feel of the whole project by only overriding a few core templates. This approach allows you to achieve visual results fast, but is of course more limited compared to styling all templates yourself. If your project provided its own templates then this change will not affect anything, but if you rely on (some of) the built-in templates your project may be affected.
- The Azure provider has been removed in favor of keeping the Microsoft provider. Both providers were targeting the same goal.
- Facebook: Using the JS SDK flow, it was possible to post valid access tokens
originating from other apps. Facebook user IDs are scoped per app. By default
that user ID (not the email address) is used as key while
authenticating. Therefore, such access tokens can not be abused by
default. However, in case
SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_AUTHENTICATION
was explicitly enabled for the Facebook provider, these tokens could be used to login.
- Added Django password validation help text to
password1
on set/change/signup forms. - Microsoft: the tenant parameter can now be configured per app.
- SAML: Added support for additional configuration parameters, such as contacts, and support for certificate rotation.
- The enumeration prevention behavior at signup is now configurable. Whether or
not enumeration can be prevented during signup depends on the email
verification method. In case of mandatory verification, enumeration can be
properly prevented because the case where an email address is already taken is
indistinguishable from the case where it is not. However, in case of optional
or disabled email verification, enumeration can only be prevented by allowing
the signup to go through, resulting in multiple accounts sharing same email
address (although only one of the accounts can ever have it verified). When
enumeration is set to
True
, email address uniqueness takes precedence over enumeration prevention, and the issue of multiple accounts having the same email address will be avoided, thus leaking information. Set it to"strict"
to allow for signups to go through.
- Fixed
?next=
URL handling in the SAML provider. - During 2FA, pending logins were incorrectly removed when e.g. Django was asked
to serve a
/favicon.ico
URL.
ImmediateHttpResponse
exceptions were not handled properly when raised insideadapter.pre_login()
. If you relied on aborting the login using this mechanism, that would not work. Most notably, django-allauth-2fa uses this approach, resulting in 2FA not being triggered.
Added builtin support for Two-Factor Authentication via the
allauth.mfa
app.The fact that
request
is not available globally has left its mark on the code over the years. Some functions get explicitly passed a request, some do not, and some constructs have it available both as a parameter and asself.request
. As having request available is essential, especially when trying to implement adapter hooks, the request has now been made globally available via:from allauth.core import context context.request
Previously,
SOCIALACCOUNT_STORE_TOKENS = True
did not work when the social app was configured in the settings instead of in the database. Now, this functionality works regardless of how you configure the app.
Dropped support for Django 3.1.
The
"allauth.account.middleware.AccountMiddleware"
middleware is required to be present in yoursettings.MIDDLEWARE
.Starting from September 1st 2023, CERN upgraded their SSO to a standard OpenID Connect based solution. As a result, the previously builtin CERN provider is no longer needed and has been removed. Instead, use the regular OpenID Connect configuration:
SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = { "openid_connect": { "APPS": [ { "provider_id": "cern", "name": "CERN", "client_id": "<insert-id>", "secret": "<insert-secret>", "settings": { "server_url": "https://auth.cern.ch/auth/realms/cern/.well-known/openid-configuration", }, } ] } }
The Keycloak provider was added before the OpenID Connect functionality landed. Afterwards, the Keycloak implementation was refactored to reuse the regular OIDC provider. As this approach led to bugs (see 0.55.1), it was decided to remove the Keycloak implementation altogether. Instead, use the regular OpenID Connect configuration:
SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = { "openid_connect": { "APPS": [ { "provider_id": "keycloak", "name": "Keycloak", "client_id": "<insert-id>", "secret": "<insert-secret>", "settings": { "server_url": "http://keycloak:8080/realms/master/.well-known/openid-configuration", }, } ] } }
- Email confirmation: An attribute error could occur when following invalid email confirmation links.
- SAML: the lookup of the app (
SocialApp
) was working correctly for apps configured via the settings, but failed when the app was configured via the Django admin. - Keycloak: fixed reversal of the callback URL, which was reversed using
"openid_connect_callback"
instead of"keycloak_callback"
. Although the resulting URL is the same, it results in aNoReverseMatch
error whenallauth.socialaccount.providers.openid_connect
is not present inINSTALLED_APPS
.
- Introduced a new setting
ACCOUNT_PASSWORD_RESET_TOKEN_GENERATOR
that allows you to specify the token generator for password resets. - Dropped support for Django 2.x and 3.0.
- Officially support Django 4.2.
- New providers: Miro, Questrade
- It is now possible to manage OpenID Connect providers via the Django admin. Simply add a SocialApp for each OpenID Connect provider.
- There is now a new flow for changing the email address. When enabled
(
ACCOUNT_CHANGE_EMAIL
), users are limited to having exactly one email address that they can change by adding a temporary second email address that, when verified, replaces the current email address. - Changed spelling from "e-mail" to "email". Both are correct, however, the trend over the years has been towards the simpler and more streamlined form "email".
- Added support for SAML 2.0. Thanks to Dskrpt for sponsoring the development of this feature!
- Fixed Twitter OAuth2 authentication by using basic auth and adding scope tweet.read.
- Added (optional) support for authentication by email for social logins (see
SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_AUTHENTICATION
).
- Even with account enumeration prevention in place, it was possible for a user to infer whether or not a given account exists based by trying to add secondary email addresses . This has been fixed -- see the note on backwards incompatible changes.
- Data model changes: when
ACCOUNT_UNIQUE_EMAIL=True
(the default), there was a unique constraint on set on theemail
field of theEmailAddress
model. This constraint has been relaxed, now there is a unique constraint on the combination ofemail
andverified=True
. Migrations are in place to automatically transition, but if you have a lot of accounts, you may need to take special care usingCREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY
. - The method
allauth.utils.email_address_exists()
has been removed. - The Mozilla Persona provider has been removed. The project was shut down on November 30th 2016.
- A large internal refactor has been performed to be able to add support for
providers oferring one or more subproviders. This refactor has the following
impact:
- The provider registry methods
get_list()
,by_id()
have been removed. The registry now only providers access to the provider classes, not the instances. provider.get_app()
has been removed -- useprovider.app
instead.SocialApp.objects.get_current()
has been removed.- The
SocialApp
model now has additional fieldsprovider_id
, andsettings
. - The OpenID Connect provider
SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS
settings structure changed. Instead of the OpenID Connect specificSERVERS
construct, it now uses the regularAPPS
approach. Please refer to the OpenID Connect provider documentation for details. - The Telegram provider settings structure, it now requires to app. Please refer to the Telegram provider documentation for details.
- The provider registry methods
- The Facebook provider loaded the Facebook connect
sdk.js
regardless of the value of theMETHOD
setting. To prevent tracking, now it only loads the Javascript ifMETHOD
is explicitly set to"js_sdk"
.
- Dropped support for EOL Python versions (3.5, 3.6).
- Even when account enumeration prevention was turned on, it was possible for an attacker to infer whether or not a given account exists based upon the response time of an authentication attempt. Fixed.
- Example base template was missing
{% load i18n %}
, fixed.
- You can now override the use of the
UserTokenForm
over at thePasswordResetFromKeyView
by configuringACCOUNT_FORMS["user_token"]
to allow the change of the password reset token generator. - The Google API URLs are now configurable via the provider setting which enables use-cases such as overriding the endpoint during integration tests to talk to a mocked version of the API.
- Officially support Django 4.1.
- New providers: OpenID Connect, Twitter (OAuth2), Wahoo, DingTalk.
- Introduced a new provider setting
OAUTH_PKCE_ENABLED
that enables the PKCE-enhanced Authorization Code Flow for OAuth 2.0 providers. - When
ACCOUNT_PREVENT_ENUMERATION
is turned on, enumeration is now also prevented during signup, provided you are using mandatory email verification. There is a new email template (templates/account/email/acccount_already_exists_message.txt) that will be used in this scenario. - Updated URLs of Google's endpoints to the latest version; removed a redundant
userinfo
call. - Fixed Pinterest provider on new api version.
- New providers: Snapchat, Hubspot, Pocket, Clever.
The reset password form is protected by rate limits. There is a limit per IP, and per email. In previous versions, the latter rate limit could be bypassed by changing the casing of the email address. Note that in that case, the former rate limit would still kick in.
- Fixed compatibility issue with setuptools 61.
- New providers: Drip.
- The Facebook API version now defaults to v13.0.
- New providers: LemonLDAP::NG.
- Fixed
SignupForm
setting username and email attributes on theUser
class instead of a dummy user instance. - Email addresses POST'ed to the email management view (done in order to resend the confirmation email) were not properly validated. Yet, these email addresses were still added as secondary email addresses. Given the lack of proper validation, invalid email addresses could have entered the database.
- New translations: Romanian.
- The Microsoft
tenant
setting must now be specified using uppercaseTENANT
. - Changed naming of
internal_reset_url_key
attribute inallauth.account.views.PasswordResetFromKeyView
toreset_url_key
.
- New translations: Catalan, Bulgarian.
- Introduced a new setting
ACCOUNT_PREVENT_ENUMERATION
that controls whether or not information is revealed about whether or not a user account exists. Warning: this is a work in progress, password reset is covered, yet, signing up is not. - The
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_COOLDOWN
is now also respected when using HMAC based email confirmations. In earlier versions, users could trigger email verification mails without any limits. - Added builtin rate limiting (see
ACCOUNT_RATE_LIMITS
). - Added
internal_reset_url_key
attribute inallauth.account.views.PasswordResetFromKeyView
which allows specifying a token parameter displayed as a component of password reset URLs. - It is now possible to use allauth without having
sites
installed. Whether or not sites is used affects the data models. For example, the social app model uses a many-to-many pointing to the sites model if thesites
app is installed. Therefore, enabling or disablingsites
is not something you can do on the fly. - The
facebook
provider no longer raisesImproperlyConfigured
within{% providers_media_js %}
when it is not configured.
- The newly introduced
ACCOUNT_PREVENT_ENUMERATION
defaults toTrue
impacting the current behavior of the password reset flow. - The newly introduced rate limiting is by default turned on. You will need to provide
a
429.html
template. - The default of
SOCIALACCOUNT_STORE_TOKENS
has been changed toFalse
. Rationale is that storing sensitive information should be opt in, not opt out. If you were relying on this functionality without having it explicitly turned on, please add it to yoursettings.py
.
