So I spend a little time fiddling around Django to understand what is possible and where there might be room for API improvements.
I went with the hardest possible way, NO password, NO username. Just one time passwords send via email or SMS. Similar to Django’s password reset function. I published my work just now, https://django-mail-auth.rtfd.io. I would recommend to have a look at the custom EmailUser that I built. There are a couple of functions and fields that need to be overridden. BUT to my surprise even the management command “createsuperuser” worked. Anyhow, I am curious to get a little bit of feedback to further investigate the different possibilities and implications this might have for Django’s authentication framework. On 12.
