dj-rest-auth Reset email link keeps pointing to the backend

Question

I'm using dj-rest-auth with react and i'm trying to use the frontend url instead of the backend url. The solution i am using for the account creation confirmation email affects the reset password email too but only partially. It does not effect the port. It only tries to add a key to the reset link where there is none and throws me an error.

So i was wondering if there is a way to change the url from port 8000 to port 3000. This is what i have tried:

class AccountAdapter(DefaultAccountAdapter):
    def is_open_for_signup(self, request: HttpRequest):
        return getattr(settings, "ACCOUNT_ALLOW_REGISTRATION", True)

    def send_mail(self, template_prefix, email, context):
        if settings.DEBUG:
            context["activate_url"] = (
                "http://localhost:3000/accounts/confirm-email/" + context["key"]
            )
        else:
            context["activate_url"] = (
                settings.FRONTEND_URL + "/accounts/confirm-email/" + context["key"]
            )
        return super().send_mail(template_prefix, email, context)

If i get rid of the key part it doesn't give me an error but keeps port 8000 and breaks my account confirmation emails. If i don't get rid of the key it gives me:

django          |     "http://localhost:3000/accounts/confirm-email/" + context["key"]
django          | KeyError: 'key'
