Quickstart

First, install the python package. If you do not need any of the social account related functionality, install using:

pip install django-allauth

Otherwise, install using:

pip install django-allauth[socialaccount]

Then, assuming you have a Django project up and running, add the following to the settings.py of your project:

# Specify the context processors as follows:
TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                # Already defined Django-related contexts here

                # `allauth` needs this from django
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
            ],
        },
    },
]

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    ...
    # Needed to login by username in Django admin, regardless of `allauth`
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',

    # `allauth` specific authentication methods, such as login by email
    'allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend',
    ...
]

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    # The following apps are required:
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.messages',

    'allauth',
    'allauth.account',

    # Optional -- requires install using `django-allauth[socialacocunt]`.
    'allauth.socialaccount',
    # ... include the providers you want to enable:

MIDDLEWARE = (
    "django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware",
    "django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware",
    "django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware",
    "django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware",
    "django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware",

    # Add the account middleware:
    "allauth.account.middleware.AccountMiddleware",
)

# Provider specific settings
SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
    'google': {
        # For each OAuth based provider, either add a ``SocialApp``
        # (``socialaccount`` app) containing the required client
        # credentials, or list them here:
        'APP': {
            'client_id': '123',
            'secret': '456',
            'key': ''
        }
    }
}

Additionally, add this to your project urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
    ...
]

Note that you do not necessarily need the URLs provided by django.contrib.auth.urls. Instead of the URLs login, logout, and password_change (among others), you can use the URLs provided by allauth: account_login, account_logout, account_set_password…

Post-Installation

In your Django root execute the command below to create your database tables:

python manage.py migrate

Now start your server, visit your admin pages (e.g. http://localhost:8000/admin/) and follow these steps:

• For each OAuth based provider, either add a SocialApp (socialaccount app) containing the required client credentials, or, make sure that these are configured via the SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS[<provider>]['APP'] setting (see example above).
