----------------------------------------+------------------------
This module currently doesn't offer a way to work with it directly
asynchronously. Per the work in #31920 the middleware supports it, but if
you need to directly call any of the functions you need to manually wrap
them with the help of `sync_to_async`.
There are several functions here that could use an async version:
* `authenticate`
* `login`
* `logout`
* `get_user`
* `update_session_auth_hash`
I'd like to propose implementing them by just wrapping the synchronous
versions (for now). Later on we can asyncify the internals down to the
ORM. I've discussed doing this as part of a larger proposal at length
here: https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/asyncifying-django-contrib-auth-
and-signals-and-maybe-sessions/18770
