I want to change all the passwords that are shown as being low quality.

At the moment, I would have to open the report, click on the first entry (whereas the dialog is closed), change the entry, and then reopen the report. As you can imagine, this would be very inconvenient and time-consuming.

It would be better if the report would stay open and/or it was possible to open multiple entries at once.

    I agree with OP, closing the report window and jumping to the entry when a row is selected is not practical when a large number of change need to be made. From a UX perspective it is also not the expected behavior.

    Find weak passwords and edit the corresponding entries without running 'Password Quality Report' as follows:

    1. Install the Quality plugin and display the Password Quality column by selecting the Password Quality column in View>Configure Columns...>Configure Columns(dialog)>Provided by Plugins(section).

    2. Show all entries sorted by password quality. Select View>Grouping in Entry List>OFF and Edit>Show Entries>All. Sort the Password Quality column as desired. Click on the column header until the desired sort order is achieved, or use View>Sort By>Password Quality.

    3. Edit entries having weak passwords, e.g. edit a section of "20 bit" passwords.
