The password_change view takes additional arguments, one of which is 'password_change_form'. The form is responsible for changing the users password, and by default is django.contrib.auth.forms.SetPasswordForm (see docs): https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/auth/#django.contrib.auth.views.password_change The form itself is responsible for changing the users password, so by extending that class and specifying that class to be used, you can hook directly in to the derived class's save() method and perform whatever actions you need to when the password is changed.
