28718	Password reset shouldn't depend on the current password being hashed with a supported hasher	Josh Harwood	Tim Graham	"Currently the built in django password reset system requires that you have an active account and that your password can be compared to by an enabled hasher. 

I think that this is in error, as you are about to reset the password to something new (hence resetting it) and the standard process of password resetting requires an email confirmation. I can see no way in which this is able to be abused by a malicious 3rd party. If I'm mistaken here then feel free to correct me.

I propose that the system is changed to just require that the user is active and that their password is not marked disabled as per the UNUSABLE_PASSWORD_PREFIX.
