Comment (by ludovicsclain):

 Hi guys !

 Things have changed a bit since this ticket was opened over a year ago,
 and I've just updated myself to the latest version of WordPress and see
 how this could be achieved.

 Still as suggested by @estelaris here
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39638#comment:23 (I'm repeating
 myself, I know 😜 ), cPanel has a way of managing passwords for its SQL
 database users interesting.

 Look instead:

 In the same vein, I tried to add javascript to obtain a checkbox `I have
 copied this password in a safe place.` which would disable the submit
 button if it is not checked.

 Also, to be less confusing with saving passwords from password management
 extensions or the browser, go for a button that says `Use this Password`
 rather than `Save Password`.

 I haven't quite succeeded with my visual examples, but I hope you get the
 idea, and obviously adding advanced options to "harden" the password like
 cPanel does would be great (or even offer the possibility of locking the
 minimum security level of a password to “medium” and not authorizing
 “tweak”… to see!).

 Thank you for your attention, this is the first time I'm working here, I
 hope I'm doing it correctly 🙏

 Warm regards from 🇷🇪,
 Ludovic
