[Bug 1189027] The ability to configure what the password should be, as well as its generation

Creating a user without password is a pretty specialized case. Of course there might be use-cases for it, but I don't think it's something to be offered as an option in a normal installation. We don't want to encourage such an insecure setup. Admins needing that are surely knowledgeable enough to configure it manually.
If I read it correctly, you also suggest to integrate a passwords generator into YaST (which is, by the way, a completely separated topic). That may make more sense, it would also be usable to set the key for encrypted devices. Something similar was suggested here [1]. It would need a good UI design and it will bring some security and usability concerns, but is maybe a possibility worth exploring.
