Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 A few thoughts here, with an imminent patch:

 * `.pw-weak` and `.pw_weak` appear to be used interchangeably on inputs
 between `user-new.php`, `user-edit.php` and `install.php`
 * The "Confirm weak password" labels wrap the checkbox and also include a
 `for` attribute. This needs to be one or the other, or else the `<label>`
 isn't clickable. I recommend removing the `for` attribute in this case,
 since the mark-up is already wrapped, and it's already committed in one
 place.
 * The UX is lacking a "Cancel" button to "Hide" the generated password.
 What if I generate a password, but want to update my profile but not my
 password? Should I lose those changes?
 * When leaving this page after having generated a password, there is no
 "Are you sure you want to leave?" style prompt to tell the user: "Hey, you
 generated a password but you didn't actually save it yet, even though you
 clicked a fancy button" interaction.
 * There is no indication to the user that their password was actually
 changed, or if there are any repercussions. Did it log me out of my other
 sessions? Can I reuse my old password again?
