Description
The password field that currently appears on the admin page for "User" is the field with the hashed value in it. It is difficult to set or reset a user's password with this page, because it requires generating the correct string in a Python interpreter shell and cutting and pasting it into the field. Overall, it is just simpler to use the raw User.set_password() function in a shell.
This request is for an additional "password" field on the admin interface. When a value is entered into this field, it is used to set the user's password. The old password field should then be renamed "password hash" and be hidden by default.
