How to allow users to change their own passwords in Django?

This tutorial shows how to do it with function based views:

View file:

from django.contrib import messages
from django.contrib.auth import update_session_auth_hash
from django.contrib.auth.forms import PasswordChangeForm
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect

def change_password(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = PasswordChangeForm(request.user, request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save()
            update_session_auth_hash(request, user)  # Important!
            messages.success(request, 'Your password was successfully updated!')
            return redirect('change_password')
        else:
            messages.error(request, 'Please correct the error below.')
    else:
        form = PasswordChangeForm(request.user)
    return render(request, 'accounts/change_password.html', {
        'form': form
    })

Url file:

from django.conf.urls import url
from myproject.accounts import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^password/$', views.change_password, name='change_password'),
]

And finally, the template:

<form method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {{ form }}
  <button type="submit">Save changes</button>
</form>

Its without need to go to shell enter passwd and reenter passwd

 python manage.py changepassword <username> 
  or
/manage.py changepassword <username>

Using shell

python manage.py shell
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
users=User.objects.filter(email='<user_email>') 
  #you can user username or etc to get users query set
  #you can also use get method to get users
user=users[0]
user.set_password('__enter passwd__')
user.save()
exit()

Django comes with a user authentication system. It handles user accounts, groups, permissions and cookie-based user sessions. This document explains how things work.

How to change Django passwords

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.

from the Changing passwords section in the docs.

---

If you have the django.contrib.admin in your INSTALLED_APPS, you can visit: example.com/path-to-admin/password_change/ which will have a form to confirm your old password and enter the new password twice.

You can also just use the django.contrib.auth.views.password_change view in your URLconf. It uses a default form and template; supplying your own is optional.
