A Django 1.8+ auth backend that implements user generated tokens to register users.

django-registration-token is a simple system that prevents unwanted users from accessing the content, it implements a script that adds several random generated tokens to the database and manages when a token is issued and used.

1. Add "django-registration-token" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'django_registration_token',
   ]
   

2. Run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate to create the InvitationCode model.

3. Run the following command to generate any ammount of token models:

   >> python manage.py gen-invitation-codes "ammount"
   ...
   *Generation algorithm explained later.
   

4. Implement the token validation on your registration view inside views.py.

   YES, I will add an example for point "4".

1. Open up your admin.py

2. Paste the following code inside, (remember to structure keep the structure):

       from .models import InvitationCode
       class InvitationCodeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
       list_display = ( 'code', 'user', 'is_used', 'used_date', 'issued_date')
       list_filter = ( 'user', 'issued_date',)
       readonly_fields=('code',)
   # Prevent anyone from adding Invitation Codes without the hashing script.
   def has_add_permission(self, request):
       return False
   admin.site.register(InvitationCode, InvitationCodeAdmin)
   

3. Ready! Now you can keep track of all the used codes, and know when to generate more.
