How to allow users to change their own passwords in Django

Question

Can any one point me to code where users can change their own passwords in Django?

Answer 1

Hello @kartik,

See the Changing passwords section

1. Navigation to your project where manage.py file lies

2. $ python manage.py shell

3. type below scripts :

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
u = User.objects.get(username__exact='john')
u.set_password('new password')
u.save()

You can also use the simple manage.py command:

manage.py changepassword *username*

Just enter the new password twice.

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!
