Authenticate using email and uuid

I have a custom authentication model that contains a uuid field. In case the user forgets his password, a link will be sent to his email that will allow him to reset the password. The link contains the uuid. The form contains only password1 and password2 fields.

Is there any way to change the password when user is not logged in ?(auth.authenticate cannot be used as the user does not remember his/her password.)

If not, I want to authenticate using his email and uuid itself. How can it be done?

This functionality is built into Django. See the password reset view and the subsequent reset_done and reset_confirm views.

Submitting the form in the initial view will email a one-time link to the user, which when clicked will display a form allowing them to enter a new password without knowing the old one.
