Comment (by xkon):

 I believe that this implementation deserves it's own Page (under Settings
 or Tools or somewhere..).

 I'm already using it daily since all of the "users" on a project that I'm
 running require an app pass (I'm adding roughly 20 new users daily at the
 moment and they might have more than 1 application password).

 This creates some extra load as I need to create every user (this is fine
 & part of the process obviously) but then I also have to get into each
 users Profile and add any application passwords needed. I won't hide of
 course that usually even forget which user I have already edited so
 sometimes I need to recheck here and there adding even more clicks here
 and there haha.

 Personally from the way that I've been working with this at least, I would
 prefer to have 1 single screen for App Passwords that would essentially
 facilitate:

 1. Be able to add new & see existing an Application Passwords for my
 account,similar to what exists in Profile edit (any user with appropriate
 access)
 2. A list table so I can easily see which users are using app passwords, I
 can either way see it via profile edit already it would just make my life
 way easier (admin only).
 3. An extra form that would consist of a dropdown option or search box
 (list of usernames basically) and application name to create a new
 Application Password for any user in an easier way than going to each
 profile of any given user (admin only).

 Is this something that we could consider maybe just in case it would be
 more helpful this way?

 To avoid losing scope on this ticket also do tell me if you want me to
 pass these thoughts on a new ticket and maybe add some screenshots for an
 easier view of this proposal :) .
