Description

Currently if we use django builtin password reset functionality, it didn't handles the case to notify the user that entered email is not registered or some error message. I think system must notify the user for that otherwise user waits for the email to receive.

Summary: Reset Password If Email doesn't exist → Provide an error message during password reset if email doesn't exist

As noted ​in the documentation:

If the email address provided does not exist in the system, this view won’t send an email, but the user won’t receive any error message either. This prevents information leaking to potential attackers. If you want to provide an error message in this case, you can subclass PasswordResetForm and use the password_reset_form argument.
