About

A simple Python and Django implementation of a website that uses Twilio Account Security services to protect all assets within a folder. Additionally, it shows a Phone Verification implementation.

It uses four channels for delivery: SMS, Voice, Soft Tokens, and Push Notifications. You should have the Authy App installed to try Soft Token and Push Notification support.

Learn more about Account Security and when to use the Authy API vs the Verify API in the Account Security documentation.

Set up

Requirements

This project only runs on Python 3.6+. In some environments when both version 2 and 3 are installed, you may substitute the Python executables below with python3 and pip3 unless you use a version manager such as pyenv.

Twilio Account Settings

This application should give you a ready-made starting point for writing your own application. Before we begin, we need to collect all the config values we need to run the application:

Config Value	Description
ACCOUNT_SECURITY_API_KEY	Create a new Authy application in the console. After you give it a name you can view the generated Account Security production API key. This is the string you will later need to set up in your environmental variables.

Local Development

Clone this repo and cd into it.

git clone https://github.com/TwilioDevEd/account-security-quickstart-django.git
cd account-security-quickstart-django

Create the virtual environment, load it and install dependencies.
```
make install
```
Set your environment variables. Copy the env.example file and edit it.
```
cp .env.example .env
```
See Twilio Account Settings to locate the necessary environment variables.
Run migrations.
```
make serve-setup
```
Start the development server. Before running the following command, make sure the virtual environment is activated.
```
make serve
```
The application should now be running on http://localhost:8000/, here you can register a new user account and proceed with a phone verification.

That's it!

Docker

If you have Docker already installed on your machine, you can use our docker-compose.yml to setup your project.

Make sure you have the project cloned.
Setup the .env file as outlined in the Local Development steps.
Run docker-compose up.

Tests

You can run the tests locally by typing the following command, make sure the virtual environment is activated.

python3 manage.py test

Cloud deployment

Additionally to trying out this application locally, you can deploy it to a variety of host services. Here is a small selection of them.

Please be aware that some of these might charge you for the usage or might make the source code for this application visible to the public. When in doubt research the respective hosting service first.
