How can I implement email verification in Django user authentication?

To implement email verification in Django, you can use Django's built-in user model along with a third-party package like 'django-allauth' or 'django-registration'. These packages provide functionality for sending verification emails.

What steps do I need to follow to set it up?

First, install the package using pip. Then, add it to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py. Next, configure the email backend and create a verification email template.

How do I send the verification email?

You can use Django's EmailMessage class to send the email. After the user registers, generate a token and include it in the email link for verification.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
from django.utils.http import urlsafe_base64_encode
from django.utils.encoding import force_bytes

# After user registration
email = EmailMessage(
    'Verify your email',
    f'Click the link to verify: http://yourdomain.com/verify/{urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(user.pk))}',
    to=[user.email]
)
email.send()
