   As the legacy rpcuser and rpcpassword are deprected since 0.12.0, we should actually include the script to generate the new auth pair in the distributed source code archive.

   Ref: #6753

   (Tagging for backport, since it is a trivial bugfix)

   This is certainly a step forward, but if we expect everyone to use it, shouldn’t we include it in binary distributions as well - or even just install it as a command in make install?

   (I’m ambivalent on removing rpcuser/rpcpassword btw, I think they’re useful enough to keep around for simple and quick authentication configuration, but that discussion doesn’t need to be here)

   Agree with laanw that it probably also does make sense to install, too. But that change will require this one.

   Yes, this is a step forward in any case… utACK

    Please do not remove user/pwd until bitcoin-cli can generate the creds. Having to install python just for generating credentials is a PITA, probably the main reason why people are still using usr/pwd.

    @NicolasDorier No worries. No one created a pull for it, so I don’t think that will happen any time soon.
