I´m working on a course exercise and I'm stuck for a few hours and I'm not sure what is causing the app to break, next, you will find the files involved and perhaps you can find out the solution. Thanks for your help!

This error is being thrown when I log in:
Internal Server Error: /account/login/

I appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!

You've set a namespace for your urls:
app_name = 'account'
You need to use that namespace when reversing urls with reverse/reverse_lazy or {% url %}:
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = reverse_lazy('account:dashboard')
LOGIN_URL = reverse_lazy('account:login')
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = reverse_lazy('account:logout')
Perhaps when specifying {% url 'appname:views' %} you specified the wrong appname
For example, like:
wrong - {% url 'accuant:dashboard' %}
right - {% url 'account:dashboard' %}
