Summary of Changes
When a user forgot the password (and some non-tech-people are not able to reset via frontend) it's kind of a hassle to give the user a new password. Especially as you know the password and it would be better to send them a random generated one. This gives the option to do so.
Testing Instructions
- Make sure, mailing works
- Go to the Backend User list
- Mark at least one user
- Open the Actions toolbar menu item and select "Send new password"
- Confirm the modal
- User should got a new password
Also check email templates.
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
- Option not there
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
- User gets a new auto generated password

You mean the checkbox in the modal? Or something else? If you check it, the user is required to set a new password after first login.
If I click on the button and haven’t ticked the checkbox.

@bembelimen I'm testing your PR and unfortunately, I am getting an error:
I have a Super User, and I have an exl-mgr user (Manager user account), and while I am able to do a test email via Global Configuration when I try to do the Send new password red button on the modal, I get:
The password of exl-mgr was changed, but the email with the new password could not be sent.
No new password sent..
:/ - sorry.
You can check jerror logs why sending failed.
the password generated does not match the password rules for the site.
Do you think the email should also state something about being required to reset your password before proceeding.
Other than those two comments it works well and is a useful improvement
You can check jerror logs why sending failed.
I have checked the administrator/logs/ even with Log Almost Everything turned on and I do not see any information about an error.
The account does get toggled to Password Reset Required so part of it is working.
Would it be a good idea to also set the flag to reset the password on first login, then the insecure emailed password will not be stored forever in their inbox?
