That's what I ended up doing. But maybe, in that case, it would
be relevant to have another possiblity to ping, something like a simple
button, and also maybe this should only be done for people who didn't 
login for a while in FAS.

Otherwise said, mixing password reset and activity check doesn't
seem to be very wise to me. What is done is done, but maybe things 
could be handled better in the future?
