[Bug 759212] [NEW] Password change in user management does not prompt for confirmation

[Robert Simmons]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: userconfig

If you use the userconfig module to change a user's password, there is
only one opportunity to type the password.  There is no second
verification, so if you mistype you won't know until that user tries her
new password for the first time.

After typing in the password it should ask for confirmation.
Alternatively there should be a checkbox for "Show Password" so that as
you type it you can check it if you so desire.

Ideally both options should be included.

I have sent information about this through various channels:
