Question

views.py to save the password:

elif 'reset_password' in request.POST:
    if request.POST['reset_password'].strip():
    saveuser = User.objects.get(id=user.id)

        </div>
    </form>
</div>

I am able to save the new password,but i want to know the following things

• How to check the entered old password is correct with existing password.

• How to validate new password field and confirm password field.Which validation is better to perform.

Need some help.

Answer 1

This is how you would check for old password - before the set_password ,

user.check_password(request.POST['reset_password'])

Also, check for password confirmation in the following way.

elif 'reset_password' in request.POST:
    old_password = request.POST['old_password'].strip()
    reset_password = request.POST['reset_password'].strip()
    new_password = request.POST['new_password'].strip()

    if old_password && reset_password && reset_password == new_password:
        saveuser = User.objects.get(id=user.id)
        if user.check_password(old_password):
            saveuser.set_password(request.POST['reset_password']);
            saveuser.save()

            userform = UserForm(instance=saveuser)

        return redirect('incident.views.about_me')

It is a much better approach to use a form .

Answer 2

Django Code to check if the password entered by user matches the actual old password; if it does not, raise validation error in django form. Also, update the password if both of the passwords match.

Tested on (Django 1.10, Python 3.4)

forms.py

from django import forms

class changePassForm(forms.Form):

old_password_flag = True #Used to raise the validation error when it is set to False

old_password = forms.CharField(label="Old Password", min_length=6, widget=forms.PasswordInput())
new_password = forms.CharField(label="New Password", min_length=6, widget=forms.PasswordInput())
re_new_password = forms.CharField(label="Re-type New Password", min_length=6, widget=forms.PasswordInput())

def set_old_password_flag(self): 

#This method is called if the old password entered by user does not match the password in the database, which sets the flag to False

    self.old_password_flag = False

    return 0

def clean_old_password(self, *args, **kwargs):
    old_password = self.cleaned_data.get('old_password')

    if not old_password:
        raise forms.ValidationError("You must enter your old password.")

    if self.old_password_flag == False:
    #It raise the validation error that password entered by user does not match the actucal old password.

        raise forms.ValidationError("The old password that you have entered is wrong.")

    return old_password

views.py

def settings(request):

if request.user.is_authenticated:

    form = changePassForm(request.POST or None)

    old_password = request.POST.get("old_password")
    new_password = request.POST.get("new_password")
    re_new_password = request.POST.get("re_new__password")

    if request.POST.get("old_password"):

        user = User.objects.get(username= request.user.username)

        #User entered old password is checked against the password in the database below.
        if user.check_password('{}'.format(old_password)) == False:
            form.set_old_password_flag()

    if form.is_valid():

        user.set_password('{}'.format(new_password))
        user.save()
        update_session_auth_hash(request, user)

        return redirect('settings')

    else:
        return render(request, 'settings.html', {"form": form})

else:
    return redirect('login')

settings.html

    {{ form.as_p }}

    <input type="Submit" value="Update"></input>

Answer 4

I implemented a method for Sign In with JWT and what it does is:

1. Fetches the email and password that is send with the request and converts it into a string variable
2. I check if the email already exists in the custom user model i made.
3. If the user already exists, i convert the object model to dictionary so that i can get its particular password.
4. In that i match the password corresponding to user model and the password that is send with the post request.
5. if the email exists in the user model and the password corresponding to that user model matches the password that is sent with the post request i use the pyJWT to make the JWT with my custom data and return the response.
6. In all other cases the email and password don't match and i return "No Match"

Suppose the request is {"email":"xyz@gmail.com", "password":"12345" }

    @api_view(['POST'])
    def signin(request):

    email = list(request.data.values())[0] #gets email value from post request {"email":"xyz@gmail.com", "password":"123"} -> this xyz@gmail.com
    password = list(request.data.values())[1] #gets password value from post request {"email":"xyz@gmail.com", "password":"123"} -> this 123

    usr = User.objects.filter(email=email).exists() #checks if email exists
    if usr:
      dictionary = User.objects.filter(email=email).values()[0] #converts object to dictionary for accessing data like dictionary["password"] dictionary["first_name"] etc
      if usr and dictionary["password"] == password: #check if email and its corresponing password stored matches the password that is sent
        branch = dictionary["branch"]
        id = dictionary["id"]
        encoded_jwt = jwt.encode({'email': email,}, 'secret', algorithm='HS256')
        return Response({'token':encoded_jwt,'email':email,'branch':branch,'id':id})
      else: 
        return Response({'No Match'})
    return Response({'No Match'})
