27292	Example authentication backend doesn't need to set user's password	Attila-Mihaly Balazs	nobody	"Link: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/auth/customizing/#writing-an-authentication-backend

It currently says:

...
                # Create a new user. Note that we can set password
                # to anything, because it won't be checked; the password
                # from settings.py will.
                user = User(username=username, password='get from settings.py')
....

A better practice would be to call ""set_unusable_password()"" on the user object."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.10	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
