I have been struggling to solve this for the last 3 hours but couldn't find it. My problem is that Django is not sending email and even if I enter the wrong username and password it shows successful .It never sends mail. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.Here is my settings.py file

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587 
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '******************'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '********'

My urls.py file: path('reset_password_complete',auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(),name='password_reset_complete'), path('reset/<uidb64>/<token>/',auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='password_reset_confirm'), path('reset_password_sent/',auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(),name='password_reset_done'), path('reset_password/',auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(),name="reset_password"),

I am using the default view of Django but even if my password is wrong or username is wrong it shows me email has been sent but it has not.Please help me.

django try try
  • 21
  • 3
  • And i have also allowed 'allow less secure apps' on my account – django try try Feb 02 '21 at 07:10
  • but it still doesn't work – django try try Feb 02 '21 at 07:10
  • It seems to me there is a problem in my settings.py file as even if I don't put these lines EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST_USER = '******************' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '********' It works as usual – django try try Feb 02 '21 at 07:23

Make sure you have followed the instructions mentioned in the following two answers:

Django sending email with google SMTP

Sending emails on Django using SMTP and Gmail

If you are still facing problems and you're on a tight timeline, I would recommend using SendGrid's free plan and then add this to your settings.py file:

# settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
SENDGRID_API_KEY = 'YourAPIKey'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'apikey'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'YourHostPassword'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'example@mai.com' # the email that you used on SendGrid
