re-send validation e-mail link

I was using 5.1.5 and I always thought the re-send validation e-mail link was handy. If one of my users couldn't get logged in or forgot password, I, as admin, could click that link and it would re-send the validation email and--I think--give them a password and let them get logged in.

Now I see in 5.15 that this link disappears at the EDIT account page.

Has that been removed for some good reason? Or was I not using the link the way it was intended to be used?
