Comment (by davidbourguignon):

 (This is a copy-paste of #37872 following the instructions of
 @DrewAPicture.)

 Many subscribers are confused by the instructions on password reinit page.

 Here are three suggestions for improving instructions wording (I am not
 using the English version of WordPress, so original wordings may be
 incorrect):

 1) "Please enter your new password below."
 -> "Please consider using the generated password or enter a new password
 below"

 2) "New password"
 -> "Your password"

 3) "Hint: <How to choose a good password...>"
 -> Remove it by default. Only display this hint when there is a red
 warning sign due to the detection of a "Weak" or "Very weak" password.
