While password is not a required field, a user account is not usable without a password for the vast majority of the use-cases. The add user dialog box should allow the setting of the user's password.
Design considerations:
This depends on how we display the required & optional fields (see ticket #1696).
Item #2 could be a security issue. In CLI the password has to be typed twice too without showing the password.
In item #4 validating the password in each keystroke will generate unnecessary error message before the password is completely typed. It's better to verify the password on submit.
