There’s one correct way to log a user in, but there are many, may, many potential authdbs.

If you want to allow your users to signup/singin with Twitter, Facebook and OpenID (i.e. Google and others), I suggest django-socialregistration. A few months ago when I did a research it was the most straightforward and complete such library out there, and now it looks like it’s I was right as it’s gaining momentum in Django community.

Edit

Django gurus also use django-socialregistration: http://www.revsys.com/officehours/2010/nov/05/#question27 🙂

The socialauth module provides you one click login options via various OpenId Providers like (Google, Yahoo, custom etc) + Twitter + Facebook.

You have many choices to choose from. You can use Django’s default user authentication, Django-OpenID, and a lot more. One of the easiest app to setup is ‘django_openid_auth’. You can view the snippets here: http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2183/
