Django change password - html

Question

Trying to change password using PasswordChangeView, but cannot get it working.
urls.py
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
urlpatterns = [
path('profiles/settings/', update_profile, name='update_profile'),
path('profiles/settings/', auth_views.PasswordChangeView.as_view(template_name='accounts/settings.html'),
name='password_change'),
]
And i am trying to get the input fields correct in my html
<div class="tab-pane fade" role="tabpanel" id="password">
<form id="id_password_change_form" method="POST" class="form-signin">{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group row align-items-center">
<label class="col-3">Current Password</label>
<div class="col">
<input
type="password"
placeholder="Enter your current password"
name="old_password"
class="form-control"
id="id_old_password"
required="true" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row align-items-center">
<label class="col-3">New Password</label>
<div class="col">
<input
type="password"
placeholder="Enter a new password"
name="new_password1"
class="form-control"
id="id_new_password1"
required="true" />
<small>Password must be at least 8 characters long</small>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row align-items-center">
<label class="col-3">Confirm Password</label>
<div class="col">
<input
type="password"
placeholder="Confirm your new password"
name="new_password2"
class="form-control"
id="id_new_password2"
required="true" />
</div>
</div>
{% for field in form %}
{% for error in field.errors %}
<p style="color: red">{{ error }}</p>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
<div class="d-flex justify-content-end">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Change Password</button>
</div>
</form>
There is no error, and it do not update the password as supposed to. according to PasswordChangeView, I should not need to alter anything.

I think you have a problem because of the wrong URLs definition, take a look at you urls.py:
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
urlpatterns = [
path('profiles/settings/', update_profile, name='update_profile'),
path('profiles/settings/', auth_views.PasswordChangeView.as_view(template_name='accounts/settings.html'),
name='password_change'),
]
You always hit update_profile view instead of PasswordChangeView. I think this is typo.
