Django Password Required

A reusable Django app for requiring a password to access some pages on a site, without requiring users to register an account.

This is a very simple method of authentication, and is intended to provide a low barrier of entry to a site that is not completely public.

Use cases could be previews of sites that users are not supposed to log in to, Stack Overflow-style beta tests, etc.

Using the @password_required decorator, you can password-protect individual views (even with different passwords).

This module is based on simple session variables, and thus interoperable with django.contrib.auth, allowing you to optionally bypass password protection for all authenticated users, or only for certain groups.
