Password reset not working in Django 1.6.1

Question

I'm using Django 1.6.1 and password reset is giving me a real headache. The user enters their email and receives a 502, and I receive this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'auth_password_reset_confirm' with arguments '('MQ', u'3op-83ceb0bee07385a12e2a')' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: []

The relevant parts of urls.py (I redefined them rather than importing the default conf because I wanted to change the urls):

url(r'^password/change/$',
    auth_views.password_change,
    name='auth_password_change'),
url(r'^password/change/done/$',
    auth_views.password_change_done,
    name='password_change_done'),
url(r'^password/reset/$',
    auth_views.password_reset,
    name='auth_password_reset'),
url(r'^password/reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$',
    auth_views.password_reset_confirm,
    name='password_reset_confirm'),
url(r'^password/reset/complete/$',
    auth_views.password_reset_complete,
    name='auth_password_reset_complete'),
url(r'^password/reset/done/$',
    auth_views.password_reset_done,
    name='password_reset_done'),

Any help please? I have no idea how to go about fixing this.

Answer 1

NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'auth_password_reset_confirm'

You have:

url(r'^password/reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$',
    auth_views.password_reset_confirm,
    name='password_reset_confirm'),

The name attribute of that url looks like it should be auth_password_reset_confirm

Answer 2

There has been some changes in the authentication url names in Django-1.6.
