Changing Password in Django

 

Changing Password in Django

In most of the recent day's applications, password changing is a very common settings functionality. The most common practice is to provide a form which takes the old password, new and confirm password. Here at first it matches the old one. If it is correct then new password is set. There is a built in form that we can use for changing password in Django. 'update_session_auth_hash' method is used for setting the new password.

urls.py

from django.urls import path

from .import views

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

urlpatterns = [

    path('passwordChange', views.passwordChange, name='passwordChange'),

]

views.py

from django.contrib.auth import update_session_auth_hash

from django.contrib.auth.forms import PasswordChangeForm

 

def passwordChange(request):

    form = PasswordChangeForm(user=request.user)

    if request.method == 'POST':

        form = PasswordChangeForm(request.user, request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():

            user = form.save()

            update_session_auth_hash(request, user)

            messages.info(

                request, 'Your password was successfully updated!')

            return redirect('passwordChange')

        else:

            messages.error(request, 'Please correct your informations')

    context = {'form':form}

    return render(request,'passwordChange.html',context)

               

passwordChange.html

        <form method = 'POST' action=''>

                {% csrf_token %}

                {{ form }}

                <button type="submit" class="">

                  Confirm

                </button>

            </form>
