Comment (by mordauk):

 After some discussion with Nacin and Jaquith, the password generation
 should probably be added to all screens where a password can be set (aka,
 install, prodit, user edit, etc).

 I'm working on getting the flow right for profile and will then work on
 apply it to all other locations.

 Currently, my proposed flow looks like this:

 On click of Generate Password:

 If editing a user (instead of changing your own password), the additional
 options for sending the password via email and encouraging the user to
 reset their password are shown:
