django-admin-reset 0.7.3

Django admin password reset

This package provides views, to use the built-in Django password reset functionality from inside the admin interface.

Features:

• Add a link to the top of the user change form, that leads to a new page, containing the link for the password reset.

• Remove the features to manually change the users’ passwords from the admin interface (but see note below).

  • Remove the change password link from the user forms.

  • Remove the password inputs from the user add form.

Note

It’s still possible, to manually change the users’ passwords by going to the /admin/auth/user/<uid>/password/ page. Only the links, pointing to this page are removed.

Installation

The django-admin-reset package can be installed with pip:

pip install django-admin-reset

Usage

To use this package, add it to INSTALLED_APPS, in the settings.py file:

Validation time

The password reset links/tokens, generated by this package, are using the built-in Django password reset functionality, and so respect the PASSWORD_RESET_TIMEOUT setting.
