Description

If you install WordPress without entering a password, or if you're using a user account that's still using an auto-generated password, you'll see the following message in the admin area:

Notice: You’re using the auto-generated password for your account. Would you like to change it to something easier to remember?

Given the focus on password security in 4.3, this message should be tweaked slightly:

Notice: You’re using the auto-generated password for your account. Would you like to change it?

@arjunskumar — thanks! In the future, could you please generate patches from the WordPress root? (i.e. not from within wp-admin/includes).

In 33485:

Make the "using default password" nag more accurate.

"Easy to remember" isn't necessarily what we want to encourage.
