Unable to send mail using django PasswordResetView?

Question

I've used django's User model for authentication, now I added password reset for my project, User is not getting any email but in terminal I am getting this message, and I am doing all of these in my local computer

In my terminal

You're receiving this email because you requested a password reset for your user account at 127.0.0.1:8000.

Please go to the following page and choose a new password:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/reset/Mg/aisdmr-bd229ea69f64a159ed5c744816b02ca3/

Your username, in case you’ve forgotten: xxxxx

Thanks for using our site!

In my urls.py

from django.urls import path
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from . import views
app_name = 'accounts'
urlpatterns = [
    path('login/',
         auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='accounts/login.html'),
         name='login'),
    path('logout/',
         auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(),
         name='logout'),
    path('signup/',
         views.SignUp.as_view(),
         name='signup'),
    path('user/<int:pk>/',
         views.UserList.as_view(template_name='accounts/about_user.html'),
         name='about_user'),
    path('reset_password/',auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(), name='reset_password'),
    path('reset_password_sent/', auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(), name='password_reset_done'),
    path('reset/<uidb64>/<token>/', auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='password_reset_confirm'),
    path('reset_password_complete/', auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(), name='password_reset_complete'),

]

In settings.py

# SMTP configuration
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USER_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'example@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'

I've also enabled this in my EMAIL_HOST_USER

Answer 1

You have set in your settings EMAIL_BACKEND as:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'

Quoting Django's documentation on what this backend does:

Instead of sending out real emails the console backend just writes the emails that would be sent to the standard output.

Instead you want to use the SMTP backend:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

Also you have a typo here EMAIL_USER_TLS = True it should be EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
