A Change Password form that asks the user for the old password and checks the two new passwords.

class PasswordReset(forms.Form):
    oldpassword = forms.CharField(widget=PasswordInput())
    password1 = forms.CharField(widget=PasswordInput())
    password2 = forms.CharField(widget=PasswordInput())

    def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
        self.user = user
        super(PasswordReset, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def clean_oldpassword(self):
        if self.clean_data.get('oldpassword') and not self.user.check_password(self.clean_data['oldpassword']):
            raise ValidationError('Please type your current password.')
        return self.clean_data['oldpassword']

    def clean_password2(self):
        if self.clean_data.get('password1') and self.clean_data.get('password2') and self.clean_data['password1'] != self.clean_data['password2']:
            raise ValidationError('The new passwords are not the same')
        return self.clean_data['password2']

How to clear the three password fields when re-displaying the form after either a successful or unsuccessful POST?

I don't think it's a good idea to echo back the old and new passwords in the form as field values.
