    Description

      The manage tokens page must have a sesskey, but this isn't an action page, ie a http post, or a get with a redirect to remove the sesskey

      /user/managetoken.php?sesskey=ml2kgScgD0

      The sesskey check should be moved down to only apply to the actions of reseting tokens instead of the whole page
