[Fixed]-Django force password expiration

16👍

You seem on the right track. Set the date of the last password updated, check if the timedelta is greater than 30 days, if so redirect to the change password page. Your Login view should essentially stay the same except don’t actually login the user to the request object if the timedelta is greater than 30 days.

from datetime import date, timedelta
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login

def my_view(request):
    username = request.POST['username']
    password = request.POST['password']
    user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
    if user is not None:
        if user.is_active:
            if date.today() - user.password_date > timedelta(days=30):
                # Redirect to password change page
            else:
                login(request, user)
                # Redirect to a success page.
        else:
            # Return a 'disabled account' error message
    else:
    # Return an 'invalid login' error message.
