Trigger password reset

[Álmos Kovács]

Hi Everyone,

I got stucked with triggering password reset in my custom view. I want to trigger it in different places but I want to use the OOTB souliton. I've found that I can import and use
from django.contrib.auth.forms import PasswordResetForm
and

from django.contrib.auth.views import password_reset
but it didn't send any email. I wasn't able to see any emails using the console email debugger option in the settings.

I've tried these ways:

def reset_password(request):

    reset_form = PasswordResetForm({'email': request.POST.get('email')})

    assert reset_form.is_valid()

    reset_form.save(

        request=request,

        use_https=request.is_secure(),

        subject_template_name='registration/account_creation_subject.txt',

        email_template_name='registration/account_creation_email.html',

    )

    return HttpResponse("the given mail: " + request.POST.get('email'))

def reset_password (request):

    return password_reset(request, post_reset_redirect="/admin/accounts/list/")

Could anyone help me to triggering password reset from my views?

Thanks in advance,
Álmos
