Django django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm error during template rendering

I am implementing a user password reset using django views and I am getting some error with django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm

The link to reset the password comes through e-mail :

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Subject: Password reset on 127.0.0.1:8000
From: webmaster@localhost
To: [email protected]
Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2016 19:01:30 -0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]>


You're receiving this email because you requested a password reset for your user
 account at 127.0.0.1:8000.

Please go to the following page and choose a new password:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/account/password-reset/confirm/Mw/4fx-63795155cddbbad87a79
/

Your username, in case you've forgotten: Gileno

Thanks for using our site!

When I follow the link I got the following error:

TypeError at /account/password-reset/confirm/Mg/4fx-ee6f1fadc877a2279bdc/ string indices must be integers

   return get_password_validators(settings.AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\password_validation.py
", line 29, in get_password_validators
    klass = import_string(validator['NAME'])

the password_reset_confirm.html

{% extends "account/base.html" %}
{% block title %}Reset your password{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
    <h1>Reset your password</h1>
    <!-- We check if the provided link is valid. Django reset password view sets this variable

password reset form. -->
    {% if validlink %}
        <p>Please enter your new password twice:</p>
        <form action="." method="post">
            {{ form.as_p }}
            {% csrf_token %}
            <p><input type="submit" value="Change my password"/></p>
        </form>
    {% else %}
            <p>The password reset link was invalid, possibly because it has already been used. Please request a new password reset.</p>
    {% endif %}
{% endblock %}

It looks like you have an invalid AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS setting. It should be a list of dictionaries. The error message suggests you have a list of strings instead.

The example given in the docs is:

AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
    {
        'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.UserAttributeSimilarityValidator',
    },
    {
        'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.MinimumLengthValidator',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'min_length': 9,
        }
    },
    {
        'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.CommonPasswordValidator',
    },
    {
        'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.NumericPasswordValidator',
    },
]
