Comment (by logicrays):

 The use case is clear, and the patch could help with syncing password
 changes.
 However, could you clarify how the patch securely handles the password
 during propagation, especially given that WordPress doesn’t store
 cleartext passwords? Would love to see how this maintains security best
 practices.

 I agree this feature would be very helpful in multi-system environments.
 Propagating password changes securely without relying on SSO is a valid
 use case, especially for legacy systems.
 Supporting this in core would enable better integrations for developers.
