Don't use Darts UniqueKeys for Session and User IDs as they are not really made for uniqueness across multiple devices and sessions #665

They are too short (5 hexadecimal numbers (possible values ranging from 0 to F)). Therefore 16*16*16*16*16 = 1.048.576 values are possible. Even if we don't reach such an amount of sessions, there is the chance that duplicate IDs are generated resulting in problems in our backend.
