The method detailed here no longer works. Importing django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm results in the custom user class not being available (django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: AUTH_USER_MODEL refers to model 'accounts.CustomUser' that has not been installed). How do I send these emails programmatically?

To avoid the X-Y Problem: I don't want user registration. I want admins to be able to create users by supplying an email address, at which point the user receives a password reset email. Upon resetting (more accurately, creating) a password, the user can log in and set a display name and other attributes.

  • You haven't added the app accounts to your INSTALLED_APPS setting... (or perhaps a circular import) Commented Aug 6, 2021 at 17:45
  • Does this answer your question? AUTH_USER_MODEL refers to model .. that has not been installed and created AbstractUser models not able to login Commented Aug 6, 2021 at 17:47
  • No, the accounts app works fine without the import. Oddly, the app will actually run if I use, but do not import, the PasswordResetForm; however, it doesn't seem to actually reset the password on creation yet. I'm still working on that. Commented Aug 9, 2021 at 15:13
