## Backend class

For Django, add this class path to `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`. For other
integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend
setting.

| Backend name   | Class path                             |
|----------------|----------------------------------------|
| `lyft`         | `social_core.backends.lyft.LyftOAuth2` |

Lyft implements OAuth2 as its authorization service. To setup a Lyft backend:

1. Register a new application via the [Lyft Developer Portal](https://developer.lyft.com/).
2. Add the Lyft OAuth2 backend as an option in your settings:
   ```default
   SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
       ...
       'social_core.backends.lyft.LyftOAuth2',
       ...
   )
   ```
3. Use the `Client Id` and `Client Secret` from the Developer Portal into your settings:
   ```default
   SOCIAL_AUTH_LYFT_KEY = ''
   SOCIAL_AUTH_LYFT_SECRET = ''
   ```
4. Specify the scope that your app should have access to:
   ```default
   SOCIAL_AUTH_LYFT_SCOPE = ['public', 'profile', 'rides.read', 'rides.request']
   ```
