django-allauth : remove the password field in signup form

Question

I'm using Django-allauth in my project, coupled with Django-sesame from login, which sends links by emails for users to login without the password.

However, Django-sesame does not handle signups. I am trying to remove the password fields from the signup form, since passwords are not used for login. I only want users to have to input their email addresses.

Here's what I've got:

FORMS.PY    
class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
            class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
                model = CustomUser
                fields = ('username', 'email',)

MODELS.PY
class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
    # Add additional fields here. For example, a global-friendly name field
    # name = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=255)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.email

This code works, but I've tried everything found on the internet and I've not been able to remove the passwords fields. For what it's worth, I would be okay with putting a dummy password for every user, and hide the field, since users must log in through the token email auth.

Thank you!

Came here with same question. Solved it with popping (found hint in this question):

class MyCustomSignupForm(SignupForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyCustomSignupForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields.pop('password1')
        self.fields.pop('password2')
