Does one thing: disables the “Application Passwords” feature.
Activate this plugin to completely disable the new Application Passwords functionality (added in WP version 5.6). To re-enable Application Passwords, simply deactivate the plugin.
Features
<ul>
<li>Lightweight – only one line of code.</li>
<li>Simple to use – activate and done.</li>
<li>No settings to worry about.</li>
<li>Easy peasy.</li>
</ul>
Why is this useful?
Because not every website is the same. Not every website needs this feature. Also disabling application passwords helps to limit unnecessary exposure and eliminate unwanted functionality (i.e., bloat). Whatever the reason, it is your choice. That’s the beauty of WordPress. So if, for whatever reason, you decide that application passwords should be disabled, this plugin will do it with a click.

Disable Application Passwords

Jeff Star at Perishable Press has done it again. If you're new to his stuff, you definitely need to take a closer look. Thanks for this plugin! I just installed it on all of my sites.

Another Exceptional Plugin

Activate this plugin to disable the Application Passwords feature that was added in WP v5.6.

PLEASE NOTE: AS OF WP 5.7, THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.
Since WordPress 4.3, new users are no longer sent their passwords directly by email. Instead, they are sent a message containing a link to the Reset Password page, where they can choose their own password. Additionally, the Reset Password page now appears with a strong password already suggested in the “New password” field.
This plugin removes the suggested password from the Reset Password page, leaving the “New password” field empty. Below this field it adds a “Suggest a password” button whose action is to fetch a new suggested password via Ajax.
Also since 4.3, Firefox and Chrome users may notice problems saving their new password in their browser from the Password Reset page. (Firefox saves the password with an empty username; Chrome sets the username and password to the password value.) This plugin tweaks the password reset form so that these browsers can successfully save the username and newly-reset password if the user wishes.
Note that Internet Explorer, Edge and Safari will not offer to save the password from the Password Reset page, and this plugin does not change that behaviour. Therefore, the plugin adds a configurable warning message to the Password Reset screen, advising users to make a note of their new password.
The form tweaking for Firefox/Chrome and the configurable warning message are enabled by default, but they can be disabled in the administration settings.

Clarify Password Reset

When working with sites with lots of members unfortunately you realise most people are complete idiots.. 
Thanks to this plugin these idiots doesn't assume their password has been reset already to a "sooooo hard" string. I've never experienced the saving issues with chrome and FF so I disabled that but the suggest button is a good softer alternative to prefilled password field. 
Keep up the good work!



Does the trick!

As I had a new member who did not understand how to get his password, I thing the plugin is a very good idea and should inspired WP official team.



very good idea
