zSecure - Helpdesk - Add Phrase to helpdesk panel rather than separate one

Currently the Helpdesk panel offers the option to set a new password or phrase for a user. The differentiation between the two is made based on selection of 'Password or phrase'.
However, only the 'New password' and 'Verify password' is listed, it is not obvious for an enduser that he would have to select 2. Phrase and leave the fields empty, hit enter and then the new panel appears. It would be more useful to a) use the whitespace to get around that additional step/panel or b) add a hint for and end user that he must press enter before the Phrase panel will appear.

Either add a hint or more preferred, remove that additional panel and add it to the 'regular' helpdesk panel as there is more than enough space available.
