django user logged out after password change

Question

I am having an issue with Django users changing passwords - I have built a few production sites in Django, just none in about a year (or in 1.8), but I don\'t recall having this

Answer 1

For Django 1.8

Simply call update_session_auth_hash after set_password like so:

from django.contrib.auth import update_session_auth_hash

request.user.set_password(form.cleaned_data['password'])
update_session_auth_hash(request, request.user)
