How can I send a password recovery e-mail to a Customer/User in Django?

[João Rodrigues]

I am working on a small online shop with Django 1.9 and I have a Customers page.

Note: This is the back-end site. Only for me...

Clicking on the green lock icon should send a password recovery e-mail to the e-mail address of the Customer of that row.

We assume that I can easily fetch the e-mail address of the targeted Customer, and that there is no need to check if the e-mail address is valid, because it is already in the system.

How could I achieve the action of sending a password recovery e-mail to that user?

Thanks

Hello,

the trick is not in the email sending, but in resetting the password.

Assuming you don't use any user managing apps (as you didn't state it), you will have to implement some parts, but the built-in auth module[1] already covers a lot of this.

Best,
Gergely
