Safari password generator blocks the password after entry

The Safari password generator when used then blocks the password field with a yellow highlighted box and the words "Strong Password" at the end of the box overwriting the last part of the password it just input into the field. Which makes it impossible to see or copy the password to ensure I can paste the password into another document or incase the password popup to update or enter the username and password into the password keeping in Safari in case it doesn't work. Which, it doesn't work half the time and now you have ZERO idea what the password was you entered because it was block completely.

This happens on every site I go to. The functionality of the password keeper updating and detecting a new password has been entered or a new sign up for a website with username and password is marginal at best if it will actually work once you hit the submit button on that page. It's a cruel game of Russian Roulette.


I've attached a screen shot of what happens every single time the password generator is used on a website.

Yes, as stated in my original post it DOES NOT save it nor does the Popup box appear more than 50% of the time to ask to save it or update it. Which means you have no idea what the new password is.


This used to work flawlessly a while ago but at some point some kind of update in the last year has caused this new blockage of the password box with the stupid words “Strong Password” by Apple Safari an you can longer copy the password in the password field as it is blocked in Yellow text with the written over words blocking the last 25% of the password.
