-----------------------------------+-----------------------------
 The helper text for application passwords on a Multisite installation
 states:

 > Application passwords grant access to all {n} blogs in this installation
 that you have permissions on.

 This is misleading for a Super Admin because an application password for a
 Super Admin grants access to all sites on the network, not just ones that
 they are a member of.

 This text should be different for Super Admins. Something along the lines
 of:

 > Application passwords grant access to all sites on the network as you
 have Super Admin rights.
