65.3.0 (2024-11-30)#

Note worthy changes#

  • Added support for TOTP code tolerance (see MFA_TOTP_TOLERANCE).

Security notice#

  • Authentication by email/password was vulnerable to account enumeration by means of a timing attack. Thanks to Julie Rymer for the report and the patch.

65.2.0 (2024-11-08)#

Note worthy changes#

  • OIDC: You can now configure whether or not PKCE is enabled per app by including "oauth_pkce_enabled": True in the app settings.

  • The OpenStreetMap provider is deprecated. You can set it up as an OpenID Connect provider instead.

Fixes#

  • A NoReverseMatch could occur when using ACCOUNT_LOGIN_BY_CODE_REQUIRED = True while ACCOUNT_LOGIN_BY_CODE_ENABLED = False, fixed.

  • The PasswordResetDoneView did not behave correctly when using Django’s LoginRequiredMiddleware, as it was not properly marked as @login_not_required.

  • When verifying an email address by code, the success URL was hardcoded to the email management view, instead of calling the get_email_verification_redirect_url() adapter method.

Security notice#

  • Headless: settings.ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_BY_CODE_MAX_ATTEMPTS was not enforced, fixed. Note that the related verification endpoint will return a 409 in case the maximum limit is exceeded, as at that point the pending email verification stage is aborted.

65.1.0 (2024-10-23)#

Note worthy changes#

  • OAuth2/OIDC: When setting up multiple apps for the same provider, you can now configure a different scope per app by including "scope": [...] in the app settings.

  • Facebook login: Facebook Limited Login is now supported via the Headless API. When you have a Limited Login JWT obtained from the iOS SDK, you can use the Headless “provider token” flow to login with it.

Fixes#

  • When using HEADLESS_ONLY = True together with ACCOUNT_REAUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED = True, you could run into a NoReverseMatch when connecting a social acount. Fixed.

  • In headless mode, submitting a login code when the login flow expired resulted in a 500. Fixed – it now returns a 409.

65.0.2 (2024-09-27)#

Fixes#

  • A regression occurred in the newly introduced support using LoginRequiredMiddleware, fixed.

  • For email verification by link, it is not an issue if the user runs into rate limits. The reason is that the link is session independent. Therefore, if the user hits rate limits, we can just silently skip sending additional verification emails, as the previous emails that were already sent still contain valid links. This is different from email verification by code. Here, the session contains a specific code, meaning, silently skipping new verification emails is not an option, and we must block the login instead. The latter was missing, fixed.

65.0.1 (2024-09-23)#

Fixes#

  • When email verification by code was used, adding additional email addresses over at the email management page fired the email_added signal prematurely as the email address instance was still unsaved. Fixed.

  • The newly introduced logic to redirect to pending login stages has now been integrated in the RedirectAuthenticatedUserMixin so that the existing behavior of invoking get_authenticated_redirect_url() when already authenticated is respected.

65.0.0 (2024-09-22)#

Note worthy changes#

  • Added transparent support for Django’s LoginRequiredMiddleware (new since Django 5.1).

  • The usersessions app now emits signals when either the IP address or user agent for a session changes.

  • Added support for signup using a passkey. See settings.MFA_PASSKEY_SIGNUP_ENABLED.

Backwards incompatible changes#

  • When the user is partially logged in (e.g. pending 2FA, or login by code), accessing the login/signup page now redirects to the pending login stage. This is similar to the redirect that was already in place when the user was fully authenticated while accessing the login/signup page. As a result, cancelling (logging out of) the pending stage requires an actual logout POST instead of merely linking back to e.g. the login page. The builtin templates handle this change transparently, but if you copied any of the templates involving the login stages you will have to adjust the cancel link into a logout POST.

64.2.1 (2024-09-05)#

Fixes#

  • Verifying the email address by clicking on the link would no longer log you in, even in case of ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ON_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION = True.

Security notice#

  • It was already the case that you could not enable TOTP 2FA if your account had unverified email addresses. This is necessary to stop a user from claiming email addresses and locking other users out. This safety check is now added to WebAuthn security keys as well.

  • In case a user signs in into an account using social account email authentication (SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_AUTHENTICATION) and the email used is not verified, the password of the account is now wiped (made unusable) to prevent the person that created the account (without verifying it) from signing in.

64.2.0 (2024-08-30)#

Note worthy changes#

  • Verifying email addresses by means of a code (instead of a link) is now supported. See settings.ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_BY_CODE_ENABLED.

  • Added support for requiring logging in by code, so that every user logging in is required to input a login confirmation code sent by email. See settings.ACCOUNT_LOGIN_BY_CODE_REQUIRED.

Security notice#

  • In case an ID token is used for authentication, the JTI is now respected to prevent the possibility of replays instead of solely relying on the expiration time.

64.1.0 (2024-08-15)#

Note worthy changes#

  • Headless: When trying to login while a user is already logged in, you now get a 409.

  • Limited the maximum allowed time for a login to go through the various login stages. This limits, for example, the time span that the 2FA stage remains available. See settings.ACCOUNT_LOGIN_TIMEOUT.

Security notice#

  • Headless: When a user was not fully logged in, for example, because (s)he was in the process of completing the 2FA process, calling logout would not wipe the session containing the partially logged in user.

64.0.0 (2024-07-31)#

Note worthy changes#

  • The 0.x.y version numbers really did not do justice to the state of the project, and we are way past the point where a version 1.0 would be applicable. Additionally, 64 is a nice round number. Therefore, the version numbering is changed from 0.x.y to x.y.z. We will use a loose form of semantic versioning. However, please be aware that feature releases may occasionally include minor documented backwards incompatibilities. Always read the release notes before upgrading.

  • Added support for WebAuthn based security keys and passkey login. Note that this is currently disabled by default.

  • Headless: The TOTP URI is now available in the MFA activation response.

  • Headless: When trying to sign up while a user is already logged in, you now get a 409.

  • Headless: You can now alter the user data payload by overriding the newly introduced serialize_user() adapter method.

  • Headless: The token strategy now allows for exposing refresh tokens and any other information you may need (such as e.g. expires_in).

  • Ensured that email address, given name and family name fields are stored in the SocialAccount instance. This information was not previously saved in Amazon Cognito, Edmodo, and MediaWiki SocialAccount instances.

  • When multiple third-party accounts of the same provider were connected, the third-party account connections overview did not always provide a clear recognizable distinction between those accounts. Now, the SocialAccount.__str__() has been altered to return the unique username or email address, rather than a non-unique display name.

Backwards incompatible changes#

  • Dropped support for Django 3.2, 4.0 and 4.1 (which all reached end of life). As Django 3.2 was the last to support Python 3.7, support for Python 3.7 is now dropped as well.

0.63.6 (2024-07-12)#

Security notice#

  • When the Facebook provider was configured to use the js_sdk method the login page could become vulnerable to an XSS attack.

0.63.5 (2024-07-11)#

Fixes#

  • The security fix in 0.63.4 that altered the __str__() of SocialToken caused issues within the Amazon Cognito, Atlassian, JupyterHub, LemonLDAP, Nextcloud and OpenID Connect providers. Fixed.

0.63.4 (2024-07-10)#

Security notice#

  • The __str__() method of the SocialToken model returned the access token. As a consequence, logging or printing tokens otherwise would expose the access token. Now, the method no longer returns the token. If you want to log/print tokens, you will now have to explicitly log the token field of the SocialToken instance.

  • Enumeration prevention: the behavior on the outside of an actual signup versus a signup where the user already existed was not fully identical, fixed.

0.63.3 (2024-05-31)#

Note worthy changes#

  • In HEADLESS_ONLY mode, the /accounts/<provider>/login/ URLs were still available, fixed.

  • The few remaining OAuth 1.0 providers were not compatible with headless mode, fixed.

  • Depending on where you placed the secure_admin_login(admin.site.login) protection you could run into circular import errors, fixed.

Backwards incompatible changes#

  • SAML: IdP initiated SSO is disabled by default, see security notice below.

Security notice#

  • SAML: RelayState was used to keep track of whether or not the login flow was IdP or SP initiated. As RelayState is a separate field, not part of the SAMLResponse payload, it is not signed and thereby making the SAML login flow vulnerable to CSRF/replay attacks. Now, InResponseTo is used instead, addressing the issue for SP initiated SSO flows. IdP initiated SSO remains inherently insecure, by design. For that reason, it is now disabled by default. If you need to support IdP initiated SSO, you will need to opt-in to that by adding "reject_idp_initiated_sso": False to your advanced SAML provider settings.

0.63.2 (2024-05-24)#

Note worthy changes#

  • allauth.headless now supports the is_open_for_signup() adapter method. In case signup is closed, a 403 is returned during signup.

  • Connecting a third-party account in HEADLESS_ONLY mode failed if the connections view could not be reversed, fixed.

  • In case a headless attempt was made to connect a third-party account that was already connected to a different account, no error was communicated to the frontend. Fixed.

  • When the headless provider signup endpoint was called while that flow was not pending, a crash would occur. This has been fixed to return a 409 (conflict).

  • Microsoft provider: the URLs pointing to the login and graph API are now configurable via the app settings.

0.63.1 (2024-05-17)#

Note worthy changes#

  • When only allauth.account was installed, you could run into an exception stating “allauth.socialaccount not installed, yet its models are imported.”. This has been fixed.

  • When SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_AUTHENTICATION was turned on, and a user would connect a third-party account for which email authentication would kick in, the connect was implicitly skipped. Fixed.

  • The recommendation from the documentation to protect the Django admin login could cause an infinite redirect loop in case of AUTHENTICATED_LOGIN_REDIRECTS. A decorator secure_admin_login() is now offered out of the box to ensure that the Django admin is properly secured by allauth (e.g. rate limits, 2FA).

  • Subpackages from the tests package were packaged, fixed.

0.63.0 (2024-05-14)#

Note worthy changes#

  • New providers: TikTok, Lichess.

  • Starting since version 0.62.0, new email addresses are always stored as lower case. In this version, we take the final step and also convert existing data to lower case, alter the database indices and perform lookups accordingly. Migrations are in place. For rationale, see the note about email case sensitivity in the documentation.

  • An official API for single-page and mobile application support is now available, via the new allauth.headless app.

  • Added support for a honeypot field on the signup form. Real users do not see the field and therefore leave it empty. When bots do fill out the field account creation is silently skipped.

0.62.1 (2024-04-24)#

  • The tests package was accidentally packaged, fixed.

0.62.0 (2024-04-22)#

Note worthy changes#

  • Added a dummy provider, useful for testing purposes: allauth.socialaccount.providers.dummy.

  • Added a new provider, Atlassian

  • Next URL handling been streamlined to be consistently applied. Previously, the password reset, change and email confirmation views only supported the success_url class-level property.

  • Added support for logging in by email using a special code, also known as “Magic Code Login”

  • Email addresses are now always stored as lower case. For rationale, see the note about email case sensitivity in the documentation.

  • You can now alter the state parameter that is typically passed to the provider by overriding the new generate_state_param() adapter method.

  • The URLs were not “hackable”. For example, while /accounts/login/ is valid /accounts/ was not. Similarly, /accounts/social/connections/ was valid, but /accounts/social/ resulted in a 404. This has been addressed. Now, /accounts/ redirects to the login or email management page, depending on whether or not the user is authenticated. All /accounts/social/* URLs are now below /accounts/3rdparty/*, where /accounts/social/connections is moved to the top-level /accounts/3rdparty/. The old endpoints still work as redirects are in place.

  • Added a new setting, SOCIALACCOUNT_ONLY, which when set to True, disables all functionality with respect to local accounts.

  • The OAuth2 handshake was not working properly in case of SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE = "Strict", fixed.

  • Facebook: the default Graph API version is now v19.0.

Backwards incompatible changes#

  • The django-allauth required dependencies are now more fine grained. If you do not use any of the social account functionality, a pip install django-allauth will, e.g., no longer pull in dependencies for handling JWT. If you are using social account functionality, install using pip install "django-allauth[socialaccount]". That will install the dependencies covering most common providers. If you are using the Steam provider, install using pip install django-allauth[socialaccount,steam].

0.61.1 (2024-02-09)#

Fixes#

  • Fixed a RuntimeWarning that could occur when running inside an async environment ('SyncToAsync' was never awaited).

Security notice#

  • 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.

0.61.0 (2024-02-07)#

Note worthy changes#

  • 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 the id_token is not posted, the provider now looks up the required information from the /userinfo endpoint based on the access token if the id_token is absent.

Security notice#

  • 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).

Backwards incompatible changes#

  • 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, the ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_LIMIT and ACCOUNT_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_COOLDOWN settings are deprecated. See Rate Limits for details.

0.60.1 (2024-01-15)#

Fixes#

  • 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.

Backwards incompatible changes#

  • Formally, email addresses are case sensitive because the local part (the part before the “@”) can be a case sensitive user name. To deal with this, workarounds have been in place for a long time that store email addresses in their original case, while performing lookups in a case insensitive style. This approach led to subtle bugs in upstream code, and also comes at a performance cost (__iexact lookups). The latter requires case insensitive index support, which not all databases support. Re-evaluating the approach in current times has led to the conclusion that the benefits do not outweigh the costs. Therefore, email addresses are now always stored as lower case, and migrations are in place to address existing records.

0.60.0 (2024-01-05)#

Note worthy changes#

  • 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".

Backwards incompatible changes#

  • 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 ID foo 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 include urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:attribute:subject-id. If the SAML response does not contain that, it will fallback to use NameID.
