django update password for User not working - django

Question

Using django's built in User model I have a basic update password view:
class ChangePasswordView(PasswordChangeView):
form_class = ChangePasswordForm
success_url = reverse_lazy('password_success')
def form_valid(self, form):
account = self.request.user.account
email = account.user.email
update_password_notification_task.delay(email)
return redirect(self.success_url)
def password_success(request):
return render(request, 'accounts/password_success.html')
its form:
class ChangePasswordForm(PasswordChangeForm):
class Meta:
model = User
and its url:
path('password/',ChangePasswordView.as_view(template_name='accounts/change_password.html')),
And finally, the template:
<h1>Change Password...</h1>
<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{form.as_p}}
<button>Change Password</button>
</form>
There are no errors, and everything seems to work, but the password is not being updated. I don't know why, I think I did everything, but for some reason after I update the password and get redirected to the reverse_url if I try logging out and in, the new password doesn't work.
I don't know what's causing this issue or in what file, so it's hard to troubleshoot.

Embarrassingly enough all I needed to do add was a form.save():
class ChangePasswordView(PasswordChangeView):
form_class = ChangePasswordForm
success_url = reverse_lazy('password_success')
def form_valid(self, form):
form.save()
account = self.request.user.account
email = account.user.email
update_password_notification_task.delay(email)
return redirect(self.success_url)
