Django-password-reset app

Question

I am trying to use django password reset app whose usage steps are here,

http://django-password-reset.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html

but I'm unable to understand its documentation, specially the 3rd step which is

Link to the password reset page: {% url "password_reset_recover" %}

What steps should I follow to use this app, or is there any alternative password reset app, which have clear documentation

Thanks

You know what is django url when it comes to template? That is exactly what it says. If you have a button with password reset, that action should have a url template to `password_reset_recover`. So: `Link to the password reset page: {% url "password_reset_recover" %}` — Nagaraj Tantri, Oct 18 '14 at 16:46
That is what I'm not getting How do i use it? Suppose i have button WHere do i put it inside this. I have not used url tag before — vaibhav1312, Oct 18 '14 at 17:03
Consider, you have a `` link that has a password recover, then did you know with `href` pointing to `{% url "password_reset_recover" %}` — Nagaraj Tantri, Oct 18 '14 at 17:05
okay, so button click event handler can take a url of the above. — Nagaraj Tantri, Oct 18 '14 at 17:06

You may need to read the documentation

URL Returns an absolute path reference (a URL without the domain name) matching a given view function and optional parameters. Any special characters in the resulting path will be encoded using iri_to_uri().

This is a way to output links without violating the DRY principle by having to hard-code URLs in your templates:

{% url 'some-url-name' %}

In short, this is a way to map the urls from your urls.py to your templates

For alternatives there is always django-allauth when it comes to handling users
