Cannot set user passwords

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.
