Python – Django password reset

Django password reset… here is a solution to the problem.

Django password reset

I’m new to Django and

was trying to build an authentication framework for my Django app, but when I tried to build password_reset and password_reset_done apps, it failed. I’m using the Django built-in framework and haven’t done any level of customization

These are my URLs

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
from . import views
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

url(r'^change-password/$', views.change_password, name='change_password'),
    url(r'^password_reset/$', auth_views. PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name="registration/password_reset.html"), name='password_reset'),
    url(r'^password_reset_done/', auth_views. PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(), name='password_reset_done'),
    url(r'^password_reset_confirm/(? P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(? P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$',
        auth_views. PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='password_reset_confirm'),
    url(r'^password_reset_complete/$',auth_views. PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(), name="password_reset_complete"),

This is the error message I get

Solution

  1. Copy C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\django-2.1.1-py3.7.egg\django\contrib\admin\templates\registration\password_ reset_email.html to partners\templates\registration\
  2. Edit line 6 of the file partners\templates\registration\password_reset_email.html to

    {{ protocol }}://{{ domain }}{% url 'partners:password_reset_confirm' uidb64=uid token=token %}
    
  3. Update your urls.py to point to the correct template:

    url(
        r'^password_reset/$',
        auth_views. PasswordResetView.as_view(
            template_name="registration/password_reset.html",
            email_template_name="registration/password_reset_email.html",
            success_url=reverse_lazy('partners:password_reset_done'), # might be required
        ),
        name='password_reset'
    ),
