How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 20
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I re-organize the accounts and boards tests content, refactor password reset-related django_boards/urls.py, fix the password reset-related accounts tests failures, add the password_change URL to templates/base.html, fix the 302 redirect-related failure in the boards.tests.test_view_reply_topic_tests, and add the reply_topic URL to templates/topic_posts.html.

In this section, I create the password_reset routes, views, tests, and templates. The results of the password reset process are output to the Terminal console. I debug the password_reset_confirm_tests tests to find out what the actual csrf token is and hard code it into the test_csrf (function) test. I re-use the Beautiful Soup 4 and Soup Sieve packages to refactor the test_form_inputs (function) test.
