Things are different now and those no longer exist at the Dashboard:

Password field will be automatically filled with a strong password, while adding new users and resetting the password.

I have yet to look to see for myself, but I think you can still make your own through “Password Reset” prior to login. Personally, I am waiting and watching for a new “Manual Passwords” plugin.

thank you very much leejosepho, i guess they got tired of people using weak passwords.
I should pay closer attention to the small print.
