token_tools.generator.TokenGenerator

This module is a generic version of the token generator used by django for reset password URLs. You should implement token_idb64 and _make_hash_value to make it work.

token_idb64

This method must return a base64 encoded data, it's used to validate the token, and can embed data. It must not embed critical data, it can be simply decoded.

_make_hash_value

This is the hash value, it must be unique by user. It will be used to generate the token, and to validate a token with idb64 content.
