Comment (by mordauk):

 I agree with @DrewAPicture

 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/24633/24633.17.patch
 24633.17.patch] is an updated patch that makes the fields visible at all
 times.

 It still feels a little "off" to me so I'd love to hear some feedback on
 this altered version. The main issue I see still is that if you generate a
 password, it's shown in plaintext but then gets masked if you click into
 the field and type CMD/CTL+C to copy it. I feel it should stay as plain
 text if copying it to the clipboard.
