Django-allauth: Social only: disable all local account handling by means of a simple setting

[hellvix]

I wanted to use only the social media login, since I find unnecessary the auth part for unlinking accounts, e-mail validation, etc. I already use built-in Django's auth and having to deal with another one is just some work I was not expecting.

The integration is great but all these new URLs and templates that does not match mine are a down side.

You could copy the URLconf and keep only the routes you need. (Of course you'd have to be careful when upgrading, in case some routes you depend on change.)

To answer the question, yes, it's possible, but currently it's not just a matter of flipping a switch. It may be worthwhile to accomodate for this use case in the future ...

Any update on this? Is it possible now to make only social login?

[bittner]

I too think we should make this easily configurable, as in "flipping a switch". Issue #345 is a similar discussion. Can we define what would be needed to do to make this "social login-only" (or DISABLE_EMAIL_AUTH) switch become reality?

[bittner]

I've added a sample solution for the current state on StackOverflow.

@pennersr Have there been any attempts, or any open PRs for this? I wouldn't want to duplicate any efforts ;)

Hi, @wgordon17, any news on this issue?

[wadefletch]

Could I take this on?

[pennersr]

AFAIK, no work has been done in this area. Feel free to submit a PR.
