A minimal Customized User app for django that has Email Verification functionalities by both sending links and OTP Tokens. Key functionalities are:

• user-registration
• activating user account upon clicking a link sent to a user's email address
• login & logout
• viewing and updating profile
• changing email address of a user upon a successful OTP verification
• password-change and password-reset with email
• OTP verification
• deleting a user after a successful OTP verification and password-check.
• using uuid into URLs to identify a user instead of using an insecure pk
• using email as the username field

• pip install django (>=4.0.2)
• pip install django-email-verification (>=0.1.0)
• pip install django-otp (>=1.1.3)

• After cloning this repo, just copy-paste or add the "CustomUser" app (CustomUser directory) inside your django project.
• Then proceed to the configurations described below

(i) In your project's settings.py, include the followings:

- Pointing to the Custom User Model:	AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'CustomUser.user' - In the INSTALLED_APPS list, add the followings:	'CustomUser.apps.CustomuserConfig',	'django_email_verification',	'django_otp',	'django_otp.plugins.otp_email', - In the MIDDLEWARE list:	add 'django_otp.middleware.OTPMiddleware' just after the 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware'. The sequence is necessary as the author of "django_otp" framework mentioned. - Specify the default LOGIN_URL:	from django.urls import reverse_lazy	LOGIN_URL = reverse_lazy('CustomUser:login') - Specify the attributes for "django_email_verification" framework to use:	def verified_callback(user): user.is_active = True user.emaildevice_set.create(user=user, name='Email')	EMAIL_VERIFIED_CALLBACK = verified_callback	EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS = 'webmaster@localhost'	EMAIL_PAGE_DOMAIN = 'http://localhost:8000/' #'http://mydomain.com/'	EMAIL_TOKEN_LIFE = 60 * 60	EMAIL_MAIL_SUBJECT = 'Confirm your email'	EMAIL_MAIL_HTML = 'CustomUser/dj_e_v_mail_body.html'	EMAIL_MAIL_PLAIN = 'CustomUser/dj_e_v_mail_body.txt'	EMAIL_PAGE_TEMPLATE = 'CustomUser/dj_e_v_confirm_template.html' - You can optionally specify django's own email attributes as per your needs. - You also can optionally specify "django_otp" attributes (according to the documentation) if you decide not going with the defaults. 

(ii) In urls.py (root), include the followings:

from django.urls import path, include from django_email_verification import urls as django_email_verification_urls urlpatterns = [ path('user/', include('CustomUser.urls')), path('email/', include(django_email_verification_urls)), # "django_email_verification" uses this path ] 

(iii) Lastly, all we have left to do is migration. Go to your projects root directory and type the followings into your terminal:

python3 manage.py makemigrations python3 manage.py migrate 

(iv) A trick: If you want to show the email address where an OTP Token is sent (in the webpage) each time the user clicks "send token"; you can do that just by replacing line 72 of "django_otp.plugins.otp_email.models.py" file:

message = f"sent to {self.email or self.user.email}" 

After we've configured the app successfully, we can start the development server from our project's root directory:

python3 manage.py runserver 

and start playing around. Also, if you're not using the "django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend" for your email backend, you can start a debugging server in another terminal to catch all the emails that are being sent from your localhost:

python3 -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025 

Now, everything should work perfectly. We can Edit and Customize the app as suits best for our projects!
