Cannot resolve keyword 'is_active' into field - django

Question

Trying to make a password reset view. I'm using the auth_views built in views ie PasswordResetView and PasswordResetConfirmView for resetting password. However I was getting this error
Cannot resolve keyword 'is_active' into field. Choices are: active, admin, email, first_name, id, last_login, last_name, logentry, password, staff, timetables
. Tried changing active to is_active and getting this error.
django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Unknown field(s) (active) specified for User
Not able to make migrations
models.py
class User(AbstractBaseUser):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)
email = models.EmailField(max_length=254, unique=True)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = []
objects = UserManager()
def __str__(self):

forms.py
class UserAdminChangeForm(forms.ModelForm):
"""A form for updating users. Includes all the fields on
the user, but replaces the password field with admin's
password hash display field.
"""
password = ReadOnlyPasswordHashField()
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name',
'password', 'active', 'admin')
def clean_password(self):
# Regardless of what the user provides, return the initial value.
# This is done here, rather than on the field, because the
# field does not have access to the initial value
return self.initial["password"]

Try to change is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) to active = models.BooleanField(default=True) in your User class, and is_active property
see below
class User(AbstractBaseUser):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)
email = models.EmailField(max_length=254, unique=True)
active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
#property
def is_active(self):
return self.active
