django-allauth 0.61.0 released

Posted by Raymond Penners on 2024-02-07

Note worthy changes

Added support for account related security notifications. When ACCOUNT_EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS = True, email notifications such as "Your password was changed", including information on user agent / IP address from where the change originated, will be emailed.
Google: Starting from 0.52.0, the id_token is being used for extracting user information. To accommodate for scenario's where django-allauth is used in contexts where the id_token is not posted, the provider now looks up the required information from the /userinfo endpoint based on the access token if the id_token is absent.

MFA: It was possible to reuse a valid TOTP code within its time window. This has now been addressed. As a result, a user can now only login once per 30 seconds (MFA_TOTP_PERIOD).

The rate limit mechanism has received an update. Previously, when specifying e.g. "5/m" it was handled implicitly whether or not that limit was per IP, per user, or per action specific key. This has now been made explicit: "5/m/user" vs "5/m/ip" vs "5/m/key". Combinations are also supported now: "20/m/ip,5/m/key" . Additionally, the rate limit mechanism is now used throughout, including email confirmation cooldown as well as limitting failed login attempts. Therefore, the ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_LIMIT and ACCOUNT_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_COOLDOWN settings are deprecated.
