Version 4.0.25.14 (latest)
Create a password reset token.
This will create a cryptographically secure random password reset token for the user.
If the user already has a password reset token then this invalidates the old token and creates a new one.
The token is expressed as the 'password_reset_url' of the user's email/password credential object.
This takes an optional 'expires' param to indicate if the new token should be an expiring token.
Tokens that expire are typically used for self-service password resets for existing users.
Invitation emails for new users typically are not set to expire.
The expire period is always 60 minutes when expires is enabled.
This method can be called with an empty body.
