#35834 closed Bug (wontfix)
PasswordResetForm doesn't forward exceptions when email sending fails
Description ¶
In PasswordResetForm, the code to send the reset email is:
try: email_message.send() except Exception: logger.exception( "Failed to send password reset email to %s", context["user"].pk )
==> if the email sending fails (because for instance of an email password change), the user who asked for a reset will see it as a success and never receive his email and the admin will have to look at the logs to understand what happened
It would be better if the exception was forwarded and an error appears on the users screen.
