 off a flow in a password manager to update the existing password, but it
 could vary based on the password manager being used.

 explicit flow, to serve as a proposal for this iteration in core!

 Thank you @georgestephanis for considering my request, I can indeed think
 of a plugin improving all of this, but by doing some research I realize
 that solutions have already been mentioned on other tickets but that they
 have not been followed:

 Notably when @estelaris explains that his host implemented the way cPanel
 manages passwords in WordPress, this is the direction I was proposing.
