Description

There was a change made to UserCreationForm (django.contrib.auth.forms) in Django 5.1 which seems to require a password to be provided even if the password1 / password2 fields are explicitly marked as required = False. It looks like the validate_passwords() method is still being called even if the fields are marked as required = False.

Please see this issue for the details:
