    Hi!

    I recently discovered that the Generate Password button is hidden during page load (edit user as Administrator in wp-admin).

    The button is there initially, but disappears as the page finish loading – and this problem seems to have occured after upgrading from WordPress 5.1.1 to 5.2.1.

    I have a stage environment with 5.1.1 where the button is still working.

    See the links for print screens of the 2 versions, and see that the html line for the button is completely missing in the DOM for the 5.2.1 version:

    Anyone else had this issue/any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Robin

    Hey all,

    Just wanted to share with you that

    – it worked for my developer on his computer
    – it works for me if I use a new private browser window

    Strange, but at least it might work if you try using a private/incognito browser ??

    Best,
    Robin

    Yes I have the exact same issue as well. Since updating to WordPress 5.2.2 the Generate Passsword field is set to “Hidden”, no matter what you do.
    The company I work for has over 400 domains, all located on BlueHost, so I thought their servers were blocking something after the update. I have been searching for a solution for days now, getting frustrated with BH, and finally stumbled onto this tread.
    The only way I’ve been able to get WordPress 5.2.2 to show the Generate Password button or “New Password” field is to turn off Javascript, outside of going into the database and updating it there. My admins need to be able to update their passwords and I’m hoping WordPress can come out with an update quickly.
