Use a monospace-type font to display passwords

[robdxw]

There are a number of places where passwords are echoed back to users e.g. in wp-activate.php when a user activates their account, or when a password is suggested when a user first registers.

Because these fields are generally displayed in Helvetica Neue or Arial, there is the potential for character confusion if a user transcribes their password, rather than copy-and-pasting. This would be eliminated by using a monospace-type font to display the password.

E.g. compare

lIo1O0loI

to

lIo1O0loI

Example on user profile age.

Sorry for the very slow response on this ticket!

It was brought up in triage today, and I think it's a great idea -- this seemed to be consensus in the meeting as well.

Moving it to Future Release, and adding good-first-bug so that it gets a bit more visibility from folks.

The monospace font has been added to the password field.

Looks good! Thanks for making a patch, good suggestion. What needs to be done here to ship this?
