Even if you could make it easy to find such an option, you'd just be giving the users the loaded gun to shoot themselves with.

Well that's actually their responsibility...

However they would appreciate the feature if they can't manage to make their password work (e.g. caps lock, different keyboard layout, etc.)

I was once typing in my password on a box I forgot I had converted to Dvorak. I was almost panicking because I was so sure I was entering the password correctly.
