In the admin panel, if I go to “Users -> Your Profile” I don’t have the inputs to set the password. I can only generate it, but I want to set it by hand. Is that some kind of bug, or was this intentionally removed from wordpress.
If I check html with firebug I can see that inputs are actually there, but they are hidden.
EDIT:
In some old wordpress installation that has not been updated I can still see inputs for password change. See this screenshot:

In the fairly recent past, WordPress changed how the password change works. It looks as though you can’t set your own password; but in fact you still can: Click on “Generate Password,” and then, when the automatically generated gobbledygook password comes up, simply edit that field to type in your desired password.
