 * I set up a new user in admin which then sends them and email that says
 *     ```
       Username: User Name
   
       To set your password, visit the following address:
   
       https://example.com/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=rnJ6ow2IEVJc2xEabcx3&login=User%20Name
   
       https://example.com/wp-login.php
       ```
   
 * When you click on the reset link it take you to a page that says
 * Enter your new password below, or generate one.
 * With an option to Generate Password or Save Password
 * If I go for a generated password it’s obviously not a password than I can remember
   and there’s nothing to prompt me to copy it. Most people would expect their computer
   to save it for them. When I then go to log in it’s not in my list of saved passwords.
 * My users are then having to go through the password reset again, some of them
   will realise what’s happening and will either set their own password or copy 
   the generated password, but most get stuck in a frustrating loop.
 * Is there anything I can do about this?
 * Thanks in anticipation.

 * Probably not. Browsers ask to save passwords only on a login form, and that form
   isn’t a login form.
 * If they copy the new one, and then use it to log in, THEN the browser should 
   ask to save it.
