Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/32589/32589.8.patch
 32589.8.patch] includes the following fixes:

 * Finishes `pw-weak` vs. `pw_weak` cleanup started in r33246
 * Adds a "Cancel" button to the right of the "Hide" button to allow a user
 to cancel the generated password change
 * Introduces a `beforeunload` warning if the user started changing their
 password but never saved the page

 It also strongly suggests separating out the "New Password" and "Sessions"
 table rows into a new table with a new heading, and recommends updating a
 few strings for what I feel is greatly improved clarity of what these
 functions do.
 * Passwords and Sessions do not belong under the "About Yourself" section
 * Change "Generate new password" to "Generate Password" -- you can't
 generate an old password, right?
 * Change "Log Out of All Other Sessions" to "Sign-out Everywhere" --
 what's a session? How did I get one? Do I need it? Why would I do this?
 * Change hokey ` ` label to "Sessions" -- what's a session? See left
 and below. Settings, fields, & descriptions follow a logical
 left/right/down flow, where `left` defines the setting, `right` is the
 setting to toggle, and `below` is any additional description. Let's
 continue that paradigm in this area also, even though the buttons break it
 slightly

 In my opinion and experience using this new, very awesome and welcome
 feature, these UX tweaks are absolutely necessary to making this a
 finished and shippable product. It also begins the long process of
 creating division between a user's "profile", their "options", & their
 "account" which I think has always been lacking in this screen.

 Sorry for being so late to this ticket and with this feedback. If there
 are questions or revisions, please ping here or on Slack, and I'm happy to
 rush any fixes in to get these into trunk ASAP (if it's not too late in
 beta already.)
