✅

Since you specified an app_name = 'crm', it means the name of the views should be preced with app_name:, so here for example crm:password_reset_confirm.

The urls are written in the views, but we can override these, for example with:

from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from django.urls import path
from . import views
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

app_name = 'crm'

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.home, name='dashboard'),
    path('login/', views.loginPage, name='login'),
    path('register/', views.registerPage, name='register'),
    path('logout/', views.logoutUser, name='logout'),
    path(
        'reset_password/',
        auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(success_url=reverse_lazy('crm:password_reset_done')),
        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(success_url=reverse_lazy('crm:password_reset_complete')),
        name='password_reset_confirm'
    ),
    path(
        'reset_password_complete/',
        auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(),
        name='password_reset_complete'
    )
]

Django 3.2.5 and Python 3.8.10 – same error

In my case, I had to define an email_template_name for PasswordResetView, and recreate that email template.

# ...
path(
    'reset_password/',
    auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(
        success_url=reverse_lazy('crm:password_reset_done'),
        email_template_name='my_email.html'
    ),
    name='reset_password'
),
# ...
