----------------------------------------+------------------------
In the PasswordResetTokenGenerator class, it is very difficult to use a
secret different from settings.SECRET_KEY. In Django however, it would be
very easy to add an attribute "secret" to the class, which defaults to
settings.SECRET_KEY and is handed to "salted_hmac" in the method
"_make_token_with_timestamp".
Currently, one would have to overwrite the _make_token_with_timestamp
method, which is not documented and likely to change, or one could misuse
modify_settings or override_settings in production.
Our usecase is, that we have a site for our employees and a self-service-
site for customers deployed on different servers and with different
SECRET_KEYs. Both sites should be able to generate Reset-Links for the
self-service site.
