Comment (by Ipstenu):

 @adamsilverstein - You mean becuase of #34180  ?

 The groundwork is there but what that _doesn't_ do is make a button to
 email someone a password.

 > it'd be really nice for admins to be able to manually generate a new
 password for user accounts and then automatically send that new password
 via email.

 I made a sample plugin to add a button like we have for generate new
 password - https://cloudup.com/cWNmv6T0SXI

 I was trying to futz with ajax enough to make it a patch and not a plugin
 but here's the code: https://cloudup.com/cmnPAmv3Qlq

 It doesn't show on YOUR page, only on other users'.
