Safari freeze when create a password in safari or reset a password

When I try to create an account and reach to the “create a password”, my safari is freeze, can’t move; I need to close the safari then reopen it to continue using it. But the problem about password still exist. Same for resetting a password for an account. Is this a iOS system problem or my phone problem? I have this problem in my iPad too. Is that I upgraded the 14.2 iOS too fast when it release? Is there a way to fix it?

iPhone 6s Plus

I have the exact same issue with my iPhone 12 with iOS 14.3. My iPad doesn’t show the same issue. It only happens when I’m signing up to a new account using Safari and it doesn’t happen when I’m simply logging-in into an existing account. When I try to type a new password, safari freezes completely, up to the point the app closes. I guess it’s an issue with the password recommendation. Indeed, the solution of going to private browsing works for me. Also, if I turn off password auto filling, the problem disappears. I hope this issue is solved soon by a software update.
