How do I implement password reset in Django?

To implement password reset in Django, you can use the built-in password reset views. First, ensure you have the necessary email backend configured.

What settings do I need for the email backend?

You need to set the EMAIL_BACKEND, EMAIL_HOST, EMAIL_PORT, EMAIL_USE_TLS, EMAIL_HOST_USER, and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD in your settings.py.

Can you show me an example of the password reset view?

Sure! You can use Django's built-in views like PasswordResetView, PasswordResetDoneView, etc. Here's a simple example:

from django.contrib.auth.views import PasswordResetView

class MyPasswordResetView(PasswordResetView):
    template_name = 'my_template.html'

This will render your custom template for the password reset.

What about the email template for the password reset?

You can create a custom email template by overriding the email_template_name attribute in your PasswordResetView. Make sure to include the link to reset the password.
