How do I update the password?

Question

I am working on a web app and I want a user to be able to reset their password but I'm failing to do so how can I do it?

I also tried

email = request.form.get('email')
new_password = request.form.get('password')

user = User.query.filter_by(email=email).first()
If user :
user.password = new_password. #The new_password

I think below should work for your requirements

Here you are getting the user by filtering ,you can also get the current logged in user as that will be the one you'll updating password for, and you can update password using below snippet

from flask import Flask, session

#current user using
flask_login.current_user 

#or get the user_id just like below
user_id = session["user_id"]

user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
user.modify(password=password)
user.hash_password()
user.save()
