Comment (by wfmatt):
How does something like this sound for an administrator account?
> **Hold Up! **
> Application passwords are a feature that allows third party applications
and services to interact with your site on your behalf. They have the same
level of access to your site as you do. As an administrator, they can
create and modify user accounts, posts, pages, and settings. Be sure to
only approve of connections that you have explicitly initiated from an
application or service that you are currently using. Unsolicited
connection requests may be an attempt to hijack your account.
I think we could probably leave out the "As an administrator" section for
other user roles, or delve into specifics for each role.
