Description For password fields, incorporate a button that allows the automatic generation of a password (displayed probably in a JavaScript message with a text field for easy copying).

This should be easy to do now that we have crypt.php's get_secure_random_password() which also ensures (if strength is passed as null) the generated password meets the site's password requirements on length and strength.

I think this would be a very helpful tool especially on sites that use a higher strength requirement to help alleviate the inconvenience of users choosing their own compliant passwords.
