I'm using vanilla installation and after sending simple POST from swagger to /api/v1/dj-rest-auth/password/reset/ I get this error

django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'password_reset_confirm' not found. 'password_reset_confirm' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

I believe the problem lies in /dj_rest_auth/urls.py line 10 First name should be password_reset_confirm to refer to existing template in auth/urls.py, secondly regex must include parameters this template is called with.

# Is
path('password/reset/confirm/', PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='rest_password_reset_confirm'),
# Should be
path('password/reset/confirm/<uidb64>/<token>/', PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='password_reset_confirm'),

password/reset/confirm/

from - https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/blob/f9f09ca8346328c6bfdd3f417652e972eb1e339c/allauth/account/urls.py#L36

re_path(
    r"^password/reset/key/(?P<uidb36>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<key>.+)/$",
    views.password_reset_from_key,
    name="account_reset_password_from_key",
),

Thanks @kos08001 but I'd think this module should work correctly out of the box. And I'm not sure how the fix in another module solves my issue here if I don't want to add more dependencies.

Also I believe password/reset/confirm should not be in the email as this is an API endpoint that expects POSTand JSON data in the body. So will never work as a link from email.

What I ended up doing is customize the email completely giving my own url

@lukaszla The FAQ cover this - https://dj-rest-auth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html

[lukaszla]

Thanks, I missed it.

[lifenautjoe]

It would be nice to add this in the same level of importance as adding the registration urls. I had to dig through issues to realise it must be added separately.

[Bergiu]

I don't get it. What do i need to do to get this working? The Demo App code is not working. Why doesn't this work out of the box?

[Bergiu]

I have solved it by adding the file /templates/registration/password_reset_email.html with the content:

{% load i18n %}{% autoescape off %}
    {% blocktranslate %}You're receiving this email because you requested a password reset for your user account at {{ site_name }}.{% endblocktranslate %}

    {% translate "Please go to the following page and choose a new password:" %}
    {% block reset_link %}
        {{ protocol }}://{{ domain }}{% url 'rest_password_reset_confirm' %}
        uid: {{ uid }}
        token: {{ token }}
    {% endblock %}
    {% translate 'Your username, in case you’ve forgotten:' %} {{ user.get_username }}

    {% translate "Thanks for using our site!" %}

    {% blocktranslate %}The {{ site_name }} team{% endblocktranslate %}
{% endautoescape %}

when going live i will change reset_link to the link of the website that uses the rest-api. the predefined template isn't made to work with a rest api and makes the assumption that the website where i change my password is part of the django application, wich isn't always the case in rest-apis.
