Comment:
Thanks for the ticket. I agree that it would nice to add an option to
create users with an unusable password in the admin, however, any implicit
logic can be confusing here (see
[https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4170#comment:4 comment]).
Therefore, I'm not in favor of your proposal to:
> ''... make the password fields optional in the Admin UI and set an
unusable password if they are blank.''
Maybe a checkbox in the "Add user" form e.g. ''"Usable password"''
(checked by default) that would hide password fields when unchecked 🤔, or
sth similar.
Tentatively accepted.
