Django Password Reset Multiple

Question

Hello I am trying to create password reset view in Django. I have set up the mail backend and urls and templates. Everything looks fine but when I try to send mail to reset password Django is sending multiple emails. For example 7 or 11 password reset email at the same time. How can I make it just one email for each time.

Thanks a lot

This is What I did:

setting.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = "my_email"
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "my_password"
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

urls.py

path('password-reset/',
     auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name='accounts/password_reset.html'),
     name='password_reset'),
path('password-reset/done/',
     auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(template_name='accounts/password_reset_done.html'),
     name='password_reset_done'),
path('password-set-confirm/<uidb64>/<token>/',
     auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(template_name='accounts/password_reset_confirm.html'),
     name='password_reset_confirm'),
path('password-set-complete/',
     auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(template_name='accounts/password_reset_complete.html'),
     name='password_reset_complete'),

Also, I set the templates for each view.

IF this is still a problem... If you have multiple "test users" and you created them with the same email address that is probably causing your problme

Answer 2

It sometimes helps to check the Django source code itself, so always dive into that if you don't understand what's happening.

If you look at PasswordResetForm's save() method in django.contrib.auth.forms, you'll see that it loops through self.get_users(email) and then sends one (and only one) email for each user.

So the only way multiple emails can be sent is if there are multiple users with the same email.
