django-multi-factor-authentication

Django module for providing multi-factor authentication on your views.

Settings

All settings for this module are prefixed with the DMFA_ prefix.

DMFA_TOKEN_INVALIDATITY_TIME_SECONDS: Indicates how long a token used to identify a certain user's login attempt should remain invalid. Default is 24 hours (86400 seconds). This would prevent cases in, for example, time-based one-time-password (TOTP) scenarios where a nefarious person could intercept the TOTP code and re-use it quickly after the original user to gain access to the system.

DMFA_AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_VALIDITY_TIME_SECONDS: Indicates how long an authentication token should remain valid in seconds. Default is 5 minutes (300 seconds). If a user has not authenticated with a form of multi factor authentication within this time the user will be redirected back to wherever he came from to let them try again. Could prevent situations in which a user walks away from their screen and a nefarious person gains access to their computer while they are away.

DMFA_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE_LIMIT: Indicates how many authentication failures are allowed to happen before a user/ip is no longer allowed to authenticate. Depending on the chosen solution this can be remedied by using Google NoCaptcha for example. Default is 5. Making this many mistakes in DMFA_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE_RETENTION_TIME_SECONDS amount of time will make it so the user/ip is blocked from more authentication attempts.

DMFA_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE_RETENTION_TIME_SECONDS: Indicates how long authentication failures should be kept in seconds. Is used to determine when authentication failures should be cleaned up. Also determines how long the effect of failing an authentication is. If the user makes DMFA_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE_LIMIT amount of mistakes within this time span, the user will not be allowed to log in.
