Need ability to change password

[jaxn]

Installed on heroku this morning. Set a haphazard password since I was just checking it out.

After setting it up a bit, I realized there doesn't seem to be a way to reset or change the password.

Thanks for filing this bug, you're absolutely right and it's now on the list :)

If need to do this now, you can

• Go to your app on Heroku
• Click "More" in the top right
• Click "run console"
• Enter python manage.py changepassword [your email]
• Change your password

Let me know if that worked

Thanks for the workaround. It worked great!

I was trying to fumble my way through using the django-admin shell to find and update the user record.

@timgl I think I didn't reference this correctly in the PR. Can we close this issue now that the PR got merged?

[timgl]

Yep

@timgl how can I use your solution if I have deployed PostHog on AWS EKS?
A step-by-step solution would be really helpful. I've tried to connect to the EKS instance and use the instruction python manage.py changepassword [your email] but it can't find the manage.py file.

Hey @toughyear, we now allow you to change your password if you're logged in, or to select 'Forgot your password?'. For this you'll need to add SMTP servers as documented here.

Once you have set these environment variables, restart your server and test sending an email (e.g. request a password reset).

@timgl Do we have any documentation for restarting the server for the self-deployed Kubernetes cluster?

Thanks

Hi! If you've added the Kubernetes cluster to your local kubeconfig, you should be able to run kubectl rollout restart deploy in the relevant namespace. Does that solve it?
