Hi

I am Rohit, currently in third-year student at IIT Roorkee. I have worked(ing) on a few tickets ([3114](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31144), [30224](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30224) & [31251](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31251) ).

I would am interested in integrating OAuth, OpenID, SAML, TOTP to the Django itself. I want to provide support for OAuth/SAML Provider out of the box & An alternative to contib.auth for OAuth Client. This has been discussed in forums ([TOTP](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/zzjTvgTbg5U/discussion), [OAuth](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/d92P2V0YrbI/discussion)) This is not in ideas pages. Are we open for this? Should I start working on proposal?

Thanks

Hi Rohit. 2FA is definitely on the list. OAuth not so much. (Django AllAuth pretty much has the second on covered.)
