Having all the features needed already in this module, it would be very practical if one could select one or more existing user accounts, select how to inform, and then have new, strong passwords stored into those user accounts.

Options:
a) Simply enforce new, strong passwords without alerting by email and not even showing on screen, enforcing the user to request a one-time password link upon next login, however long time that might be into the future.

b1) Specify that an email should be sent to the user(s).
b2) Specify that such emails should include the new password or not.
b3) Specify if the passwords should be shown to the administrator who is trigging this, as a list that could be easily copied, if desired.

c) Specify in settings that the accounts in question and the admin account used be logged in watchdog, and optionally emailed directly to the email address of a specific user account/admin role. This should work in a way that the admin who uses this function, should not necessarily have the rights to affect/change that email address. Either if using other user admin delegatoin modules, or by setting a new permission for altering which users/roles should be notified. This part is important on several sites.
