Hugh has pointed out via IRC that for a dev or admin who wants to manually assign a password, you could do this:
1. Use the "Add User" page to add a user. 2. The next page load takes you to their Account Settings page, and you can manually set their password there. So maybe eliminating the password field altogether is a good idea after all. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

It should be assumed that this password is delivered to the user out of band, and shouldn't be sent in clear text. If the password field is left blank, we should treat that the same as if we just finished a registration, the user gets a one time URL to click on which forces them to set a password.
