 Hey everyone.

 Just a quick question / discussion about the move to a generated strong
 password in WordPress 4.3 (as noted here:
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/28/passwords-strong-by-default/])

 The current flow is that when adding a new user to the admins screen you
 will select the 'show password' button and that will generate a strong
 password for you (along with showing you the strength of your password /
 it's security)

 I also hoped that there would be a 'generate password' button to generate
 a new random password.

 It's just as easy to go to a website and generate one and copy it back
 into the create new user screen, however it would be good to have that in
 the core.

 Any thoughts on this?
