app_name = 'accounts'

urlpatterns = [
    path('create-user/', registerview, name='register'),
    path('login/', loginview, name='login'),
    path('logout/', logoutview, name='logout'),

    path('password_reset/', auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password.html'), name="password_reset"),
    path('password_reset_done/', auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password_sent.html'), name="password_reset_done"),
    path('password_reset/<uidb64>/<token>/', auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password_form.html'), name="password_reset_confirm"),
    path('password_reset_complete/', auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password_sucess.html'), name="password_reset_complete"),
]

and here is one of my templates that im using to override the default one reset_password.html:

<h2>Introduza o email para mudar a sua password</h2>

<form method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
    <input type="submit" value="Enviar email de atualizacao de password">
</form>

Another error:

{% load i18n %}{% autoescape off %}
2   {% blocktranslate %}You're receiving this email because you requested a password reset for your user account at {{ site_name }}.{% endblocktranslate %}
3   
4   {% translate "Please go to the following page and choose a new password:" %}
5   {% block reset_link %}
6   {{ protocol }}://{{ domain }}{% url 'password_reset_confirm' uidb64=uid token=token %}
7   {% endblock %}
8   {% translate 'Your username, in case you’ve forgotten:' %} {{ user.get_username }}
9   
10  {% translate "Thanks for using our site!" %}
11  
12  {% blocktranslate %}The {{ site_name }} team{% endblocktranslate %}
13  
14  {% endautoescape %}

And idk why this happenssince im sending the uidb and the token in the url....

My SMTP conf for sending email with GMAIL:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'my_email'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my_email_password'

Solution

  • The culprit is the app_name = 'accounts'. This means that the success_url that is defined in the PasswordResetView, which points to a view with the name password_reset_done thus no longer can find its view. The same will happen with the PasswordResetConfirmView.

    You can override this with the name of the view that contains the namespace prefix:

    from django.urls import path, reverse
    from .views import *
    from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
    
    #    namespace ↓ (view names need to be prefixed with 'accounts:')
    app_name = 'accounts'
    
    urlpatterns = [
        path('create-user/', registerview, name='register'),
        path('login/', loginview, name='login'),
        path('logout/', logoutview, name='logout'),
    
        path(
            'password_reset/',
            auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(
                template_name='accounts/reset_password.html'
                success_url=reverse_lazy('accounts:password_reset_done')
            ),
            name='password_reset'
        ),
        path('password_reset_done/', auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password_sent.html'), name='password_reset_done'),
        path(
            'password_reset/<uidb64>/<token>/',
            auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(
                template_name='accounts/reset_password_form.html'
                success_url=reverse_lazy('accounts:password_reset_complete')
            ),
            name='password_reset_confirm'
        ),
        path('password_reset_complete/', auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password_sucess.html'), name='password_reset_complete'),
    ]

    In the template, you should also prefix it with the namespace, so:

    {% url 'account:password_reset_confirm' uidb64=uid token=token %}

    If this is the builtin template, you can create your own template, for example by copy pasting the original template [GitHub] and then save a new template and specify the path that that template with:

    from django.urls import path, reverse
    from .views import *
    from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
    
    #    namespace ↓ (view names need to be prefixed with 'accounts:')
    app_name = 'accounts'
    
    urlpatterns = [
        path('create-user/', registerview, name='register'),
        path('login/', loginview, name='login'),
        path('logout/', logoutview, name='logout'),
    
        path(
            'password_reset/',
            auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(
                template_name='accounts/reset_password.html',
                success_url=reverse_lazy('accounts:password_reset_done'),
                email_template_name='path_to/template.html'
            ),
            name='password_reset'
        ),
        path('password_reset_done/', auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password_sent.html'), name='password_reset_done'),
        path(
            'password_reset/<uidb64>/<token>/',
            auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(
                template_name='accounts/reset_password_form.html'
                success_url=reverse_lazy('accounts:password_reset_complete')
            ),
            name='password_reset_confirm'
        ),
        path('password_reset_complete/', auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password_sucess.html'), name='password_reset_complete'),
    ]
