I installed according to these instructions:  
[GitHub Authentication in Django using Django-allauth](https://www.codesnail.com/github-authentication-in-django-using-django-allauth/)

Not sure what could cause this - it’s a blackbox to me right now (AllAuth).

Surprisingly my Wing PRO ide is able to work when I set a breakpoint in the Allauth library. So I will try debugging it.

That digging around helped a lot:

Here is the quickfix:

```auto
# Provider specific settings
SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
    'github': {
        # For each OAuth based provider, either add a ``SocialApp``
        # (``socialaccount`` app) containing the required client
        # credentials, or list them here:
        'APP': {
            'client_id': os.environ['GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID'],
            'secret': os.environ['GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET_KEY'],
            'key': ''
        }
    }
}

```

Doing this on the Admin panel alone like the instructions say, does not seem to work, so perhaps both are needed or perhaps just this alone (in your settings.py)
