Subject: [PATCH] Update UserFactory.php

## An Overview of Updates for UserFactory

## "Refactoring of User Factory, August, 2012".refactor>User Factory.

### Overview of Refactoring of User Factory

The User Factory class is now more maintainable through several changes:

### Changes to the User Factory
The new explicitly defined return types in the User Factory are 'array' and 'self', which provide IDEs and static analysis tools with better support.
Named constants are created from 'hardcoded' configuration values like 'DEFAULT_PASSWORD', 'REMEMBER_TOKEN_LENGTH', and can be changed in one place instead of multiple times in the codebase.
The 'unverified()' method has been simplified to avoid an unnecessary closure and returns the 'state' array directly instead.
Verbose documentation blocks for the User Factory class have been removed and replaced with inline type declarations whenever possible.
Whitespace and comments have been cleaned up and removed from the User Factory.

### Benefits of User Factory Refactoring
Configuration value location is easier to find and/or modify, e.g., password length or token length.
IDE autocompletion and static analysis are better supported.
Fewer lines of code, but it is still clear.
Typed properties are available using PHP 7.4+ standards.
It is faster to locate methods by constant reference instead of function reference.
No functional changes have been made to the User Factory; it functions just as before, but is now more concise and easier to maintain.
