Question

I have set the following entry in the urls.py

(r\'^password_reset/$\', \'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset\'),

but once I go to

Answer 1

As of django 1.11 password_change view is deprecated.

Deprecated since version 1.11: The password_change function-based view should be replaced by the class-based PasswordChangeView.

What worked for me was:

In urls.py

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
...
url('^account/change-password/$',
    auth_views.PasswordChangeView.as_view(
        template_name='registration/passwd_change_form.html'),
    name='password_change'),
url(r'^account/password-change-done/$',
    auth_views.PasswordChangeDoneView.as_view(
        template_name='registration/passwd_change_done.html'),
    name='password_change_done'),

And then add the couple of templates passwd_change_form.html and passwd_change_done.html under registration.

Note that I'm not using the default name, for some reason when I did that it defaulted to the django admin views.
