I've run into a lot of attribute errors when using django-axes. Whenever I fix one of them by setting the default attributes, more start showing up. I followed the documentation for installation. Here is my code...
settings.py

At the bottom I tried to set some of the default attributes that were causing errors. Right now, the code above results in a 'Settings' object has no attribute 'AXES_HANDLER' error.
In views.py when authenticating the user I have set request=request as the documentation said. I've also added a lockout function:
def lockout(request, credentials, *args, **kwargs):
messages.error(request, "Account locked. Try again in 6 minutes")
return redirect('index')
Note: I am also using a custom user model so users can log in with their email. I tested it on a different project with django-axes and everything was working well. So I don't think that's the issue here.
Question: How do I fix this? Is there anything I need to install or configure differently?
CodePudding user response：
Add a variable to your settings.py file:
AXES_HANDLER = 'axes.handlers.database.AxesDatabaseHandler'
