New description:
Currently, to change a user's password the admin user must got to the
change user form, find the password field and click a link in its help
text.
[[Image(https://code.djangoproject.com/raw-attachment/ticket/34977
/password-link.jpg)]]
For better user guidance and accessibility, I suggest turning this link
into a button:
[[Image(https://code.djangoproject.com/raw-attachment/ticket/34977
/password-button.png)]]
As David Smith pointed out, links in help texts are not read by screen
readers:
"Do not include links within hint text. While screen readers will read out
the link text when describing the field, they will not tell users that the
text is a link." (https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/text-
input/#hint-text).
I'll be happy to provide a patch.
