Better wording for one-time login link [#491484]

Current wording:
"You have just used your one-time login link. It is no longer necessary to use this link to login. Please change your password."

In my opinion "necessary" is not applicable, should be "possible".

Something like this:
"You have just used your one-time login link. This link has been deactivated and it will be not possible to use this link to login. Please change your password."

But I want to propose even better, shorter wording:
"You have just used your one-time login link. Please change your password."
(I think "one-time login link" says enough, no need to explain that one-time link stops working after using it).

Why on earth is this not just configurable in the admin interface?

@brynbellomy: i'm not convinced this needs to be configurable via the admin interface -- i'm not a fan of killing the user with a bunch of options, and this is a pretty basic message. i believe in the past people have used the custom translation trick to change hard-coded wording they don't like.

I agree with hunmonk - there are already too many settings... and this issue does not deserve one more setting - it is a minor wording which just brushes against my neurons when I see it. If people agree that the original wording is not most appropriate to the meaning that everyone understands, maybe it can be changed at the maintainer's discretion to a more smooth one.

I know that stringoverrides module will do the job, but I don't like to get into changing strings here and there just because the language was not clear to start with. It is asking all 11,549 users of LT to spend their energy & time on cosmetics on otherwise such a fine module. Just my 2 cents.
