No rules but lots of Common sense

➢ Millions of Users Vs. Targated Clients

➢ Personal Vs. Professional Vs. Social

➢ Web first Vs. Mobile first

Let's do it with Django

It takes only 3 steps to integrate Social Authentication with your web project.

For this Demo I am using Twitter as a backend but you can pick backend of your choice.

Step - 1

Create an app with your backend

Step - 2

Configure your Django application to use Social Authentication

<a id="login" href="{% url 'social:begin' 'twitter' %}?next=/">Login with Twitter</a>
