PasswordReset.create_token - REST API

Overview

Begins the password reset process.

Accepts a username or password and looks up a user by the credential. If the user is found, a password reset token and password reset key are generated and saved in the database. Next, an email is sent with a link for the user to click which leads to the next step in the process, represented by the access_token call in Python.

The method never returns an explicit indication to the caller that a username or email were not found - if that be the case, this information will be found in server logs.
