This is the "normal" way to do things

In the page you would have something like ...

{% if user.has_usable_password %} display side bar with account
management options {% endif %}

The question then becomes how do you get user into the page. You
probably know the answer but in case not, in your view - the first
argument is always request - you include request.user in the rendering
context as 'user' ie., context['user'] = request.user
