 From an a11y perspective, this would be a drastic simplification of the
 flow to set a new password to it would be an improvement.

 However, I'm not sure removing the UI to generate the password would be in
 line with the original purpose of this feature: encouraging the use of
 strong passwords. I'd suggest to carefully read the reasoning behind the
 introduction of this feature in the related ticket #32589 and, more
 importantly, read the related post on Make:
