Comment (by bookdude13):

 @adamsilverstein sounds good to punt it out.

 I would be fine having the Cancel button close everything up again.
 Updated patch added to see what that functionality would look like. That
 latest patch also caches the generated random password value like it used
 to be, so it doesn't have a delay before showing up. Awaiting design.

 Another question when this gets checked: why is there a Cancel button when
 creating a new user? A password needs to be set, so that seems
 unintuitive. I'd think it should be like the install page, where you can
 generate again but can't "cancel" anything.
