Generation of Unsupported Passwords

Hello Apple community,


I would like to bring a subject related, probably to everyone using an Apple product.

Password Generation is currently being supported with a feature on Safari whether on desktop or mobile.

While making a new account or changing a password, Safari will generate a strong password for you.


However, some websites only allow certain keys (a-z, 0-9; sometimes only certain special keys $%#)

once setting a new password.

I faced this issue on PayPal, which does not in fact accept hyphens. The feature did not contain any other options but to set my own password.


It would be great to see this feature improved to have a secure password generated on every website we visit. My suggestion is to add a button for "suggest another password" giving several options, at least one without special keys such as $% and hyphens, depending on the website's compatibility.


It would be a great deal to accounts security for everyone using iCloud on Apple products.


In fact, there is a tool which works great and comes in every Mac, it is called the Password Assistant.


Secure, simple and intuitive, just what we all love about Apple.


This is what it looks like----

If you are unfamiliar with it, following is a guide to reach this great feature on a Mac - https://support.apple.com/en-il/guide/mac-help/mchlp1088/mac


Comment or rate if you agree. Stay Safe. Best, Ophir
