Django Error - Reverse for 'password_reset_confirm' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '

Question

I am trying to create a reset password functionality in my application and added the following lines in my urls.py.

urls.py

url(r'^resetpassword/passwordsent/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_done', name='password_reset_done'),
    url(r'^resetpassword/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset'),
    url(r'^reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm'),
    url(r'^reset/done/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_complete'),

But when I enter my email id on reset password, it is showing an error which I am not able to understand. Reverse for 'password_reset_confirm' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments 'I have gone through some of the suggestions but none are working. Could anyone any help me with this error?

See the below image:

Seems like I have resolved this `error` by updating this url `url(r'^reset/(?P[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm', name='password_reset_confirm'),` — python, Oct 18 '15 at 07:09
I just added a name to it but now it is showing connection refused :/ — python, Oct 18 '15 at 07:10

Django needs to know how to resolve the URL from the name used in the url template tag. You should add the name to this line:

 url(r'^reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm'),

So it becomes:

 url(r'^reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm', name='password_reset_confirm'),

See more about reverse resolution here:

I have done the same thing but now it is saying connection refused :/ – python Oct 18 '15 at 07:12
Is that when you click on the link or load the page - the application is still up? What is it you see now, is there a URL in the location window? – Will Hogan Oct 18 '15 at 07:24
When my enter my email id and hit `reset my password` – python Oct 18 '15 at 07:28
@RakeshRanjanSukla connection refused means your urls.py is now working but only sending the confirmation email fails – doniyor Oct 18 '15 at 07:32

You need to add password_reset_confirm url into your urls.py (at the top of any other included urls). Please check the urls.py module inside demo app example for more details. – Aleem Nov 29 '22 at 10:59

Use the following to fix the error. Your regex is too strict, it's only allowing up to 20 characters. Refer to the following link for more information https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31913.

I changed the url to the below and it worked path(r'reset/<uidb64>/<token>/',
