Looks like it's the Oauth packages for Django, https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/oauth/ Looks like this just got updated 3 days ago. We'll have to do some experimentation after this weekend, but this is looking more and more possible. :thumbsup:

Some links to help us authenticate https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/set-up-github-oauth-on-django-for-user-authentication/
