Django reverse for 'password_change_done' not found - html

Question

I have a small application that I'm writing, but I have came into some trouble with the password changing elements used with the Django authentication framework. But I always get the error after changing a password that: Reverse for 'password_change_done' not found. 'password_change_done' is not a valid view function or pattern name. Here is my code below:
#account urls.py
from django.urls import path, include
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from . import views
app_name = 'account'
urlpatterns = [
#Password Changes URLs
path('password_change/', auth_views.PasswordChangeView.as_view(), name='password_change'),
path('password_change/done/', auth_views.PasswordChangeDoneView.as_view(), name='password_change_done'),
]
This is my directory structure for the login system:
Directory Structure
Here's the password_change.html file:
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Change your password</h3>
<div class="login-form" style="text-align: center; ">
<form method="post">
{{ form.as_p }}
<p><input type="submit" value="Change"></p>
{% csrf_token %}
</form>
</div>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Since you use an app_name, you will need to include the namespace in the success_url of the PasswordChangeView:
# account urls.py
from django.urls import path, include
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from . import views
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
app_name = 'account'
urlpatterns = [
#Password Changes URLs
path('password_change/', auth_views.PasswordChangeView.as_view(
success_url=reverse_lazy('account:password_change_done')
), name='password_change'),
path('password_change/done/', auth_views.PasswordChangeDoneView.as_view(), name='password_change_done'),
]
some other class-based views of the auth package have success_urls, these thus should be updated as well.
