+The fix adds the user's email address to the password reset token generation.
+
+This ensures that if a user changes their email address, any existing password
+reset tokens become invalid, preventing a security vulnerability where someone
+could use an old token to reset a password after the email had been changed.
+
+File Modified: django/contrib/auth/tokens.py
+  - Method: PasswordResetTokenGenerator._make_hash_value()
+  - Change: Add email to hash computation
+
+Test Added: tests/auth_tests/test_tokens.py
+  - Method: TokenGeneratorTest.test_token_invalidated_after_email_change()
+  - Validates: Email change invalidates token
+
+Status: [OK] All tests passing
+Reference: Django commit 7f9e4524d6b23424cf44fbe1bf1f4e70f6bb066e
