changepassword command should pass update_fields to user.save()

[Marcel Tschopp]

The changepassword command should pass update_fields=("password",) when saving the user.

Not sure this is desirable as it breaks any custom User model with an updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) field.

If updated_fields is used this potential field won't be updated on a password change through the management command anymore.

I'm inclined to 'wontfix' this ticket since update_fields would bring little benefit with a slightly backward incompatible behaviour in this case.

Now that you say it, I think you are right. I also don't see any decent solution to make this configurable or extendable.

Should I close my PR?

[Mariusz Felisiak]

I agree with Simon.
