New 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 go ahead.''
