Comment:
If I understand the code correctly, the ID is required to associate the
token/url with the specified user, since there's no other way to retrieve
the user from the token - hashing is a one-way process.
Maybe `USERNAME_FIELD` could be used instead of the PK, but for that
there's the possibility to specify a different `token_generator`, as per
`django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset`:
{{{
#!python
def password_reset(request,
template_name='registration/password_reset_form.html',
email_template_name='registration/password_reset_email.html',
subject_template_name='registration/password_reset_subject.txt',
password_reset_form=PasswordResetForm,
token_generator=default_token_generator,
post_reset_redirect=None,
from_email=None,
extra_context=None,
html_email_template_name=None,
extra_email_context=None):
...
}}}
The associated `password_reset_form` can be overridden as well.
