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

I bought a new iPhone 12 Pro a week ago and I’m having a terrible time setting up passwords because of this ridiculous issue. I went back to Apple after years on an Android and I’m starting to regret my decision :-(

Just how long does it take to fix a bug that’s been out there for months? Crazy...

Yep! It’s still an issue! I can’t believe Apple is letting this go, we can’t even use our phones to log into websites.... I have a 12 pro max 512! The best of the best and it’s been doing this for months!!!!

It’s really astounding. I momentarily forgot about it the other Fay as I was signing up for a service and used safari on my phone. Two freezes and one crash later I switched to chrome because safari couldn’t handle it. Something happens whenever there’s a space for a new or old password. Apple, fix this issue.

As you can see by this thread, it’s been going on for a long time. When I let my iPhone save my password and use face ID I can get in about anywhere. It’s just impossible to open new accounts on my phone and there’s still a few other things I can’t do. How many people are jumping ship away from Apple because of this? It’s absurd.

I actually don’t think Apple know about this issue, which is kind of strange. You would think Apple employees use iPhones & iPads. So, they must be suffering from the same problems.

Why haven’t any of the software engineers at Cupertino, told management about this issue?

Or maybe they all use Samsung smart phones 😂😂😂

I’ve been having this problem for around 3 months now. I’ve even upgraded my phone from an 8 to a 10s this Christmas but the same problem is still happing so this is definitely an OS problem. Please, Apple, fix this!

Sick of this , first started November 2020 , had about 4 updates since including last night to latest iOS and still it fixed , what do these idiots do all day , I spent a week sending logs over and videos of the problem to apple who said would send to engineers but still no fix.

I don’t want to delete my passwords or auto fill or use private mode or not use safari I just want it like it was . Strange as my partner has latest iPhone pro 12 max and has never suffered from this problem and we have identical settings , I believe it must have been a problem whilst updating to from iOS 13 to iOS 14 then because hers was already on the latest iOS and she just transferred everything over from her old iPhone XS .

But some of us don’t want two factor thingy , it should be fixed without doing this . My partner doesn’t have two factor enabled and yet her iPhone 12 on latest iOS is fine so what’s causing this should be corrected by apple

I want to thank everyone who made suggestions to help do a temporary fix.

One was to turn off auto fill and passwords I believe?

The other was open Safari in privacy mode.

I like auto fill and face ID, so I have some safari windows open in privacy mode, and some without it and just use the privacy mode windows for things that might get bogged down.

I don’t work in technology or so much need my machines for work. However, it’s appalling that Apple has Let this go on for so long. Time to consider a new laptop soon and it might not be a Mac. And then I suppose for continuity I will get a new phone that is not from Apple. And then I’ll get rid of the Apple TV?

If FaceTime weren’t so convenient and if my family didn’t all use Apple products. Then I wouldn’t hesitate. This doesn’t bode well for the future problems if things that really could cost people money and time don’t get fixed in an expeditious manner by Apple.

They brought this on themselves.

I’m totally aggravated- I don’t want private mode or not do auto fill - I want them to fix this!!! I’m trying to remember when it started and think it is after last update - I hate updates - always screw things up - I thought it was cause I have iPhone 7 Plus older phone

I have this problem also. I am unable to use passport reset links from my email (for various accounts, whether banking, memberships or banking) to reset my password. It opens the link but I cannot type in any information into the dialogue boxes to enter my password. Then it freezes the screen and I have to keep closing Safari and each time I open it have to quickly close the tab or it freezes again on the screen originally created from the link. This is for multiple reset links and is not related to any one provider.

been fighting with this all night. Found also was getting a long delay when try to switch on or off the autofill password box.

eventually sorted it out by enabling 2 factor authentication on my AppleID, which had to be done first on the AppleID web page because I already had 2 step verification enabled which had been screwing with things. Having done this I have tried creating a couple accounts on random websites and no hanging so far.

I've tried everything in this thread but still no fix. We're hampered even more because these are Macbook's on 11.2.3 with managed Apple ID's, so no option to tick keychain in iCloud settings.

Hoping this is fixed asap!

It's April 1, 2021, and I still have this issue. It's any site where you fill in info. Doesn't matter if it's a password, social security number, or what, the entire screen freezes. I've been switching to the Ecosia browser. Works fine there. May make Ecosia my default browser on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Did you ever find a solution for this? My phone recently started freezing anytime I get to a password filed. Works fine on everything else, but then I get to the password and my whole safari is frozen.
