Finally Understand Authentication in Django REST Framework
summary
Explains the four built‑in Django REST Framework auth modes and why there are four built‑in ways and over a dozen third‑party packages, demonstrates basic, session, token and JWT flows, and shows the concrete gotcha that DRF’s browsable API needs SessionAuth alongside TokenAuth. Builds a working user system with registration, password reset/confirm, social auth and sign‑up/login/logout endpoints using django‑rest‑auth and django‑allauth, publishes complete repo code and notes which approaches scale or expire and which do not.
