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?

Seriously, there still isn’t a fix for this? I have the same issue on my 12 Pro Max. They’ve done a few security updates on the latest iOS and it’s still not working. I have the exact same issue described. IPhone freezes when I go to create a password. I’ve noticed it does eventually work but it’s like 1-5 minutes to enter each field.

It’s been happening on my 11 pro max. I think I was able to make it work once but it was really slow and I could keep tapping on the same button. I’m at the point where I was going to get the pro max 12 but if it has the same issue then there is no sense in doing it. Do we have to switch to an android phone in order to register with anything with a password?

Having same issue on iPad Air 2 tried updating the iPad os but it did not fix it it also works in private browsing but I can’t use that as it does not save my accounts cookies if I exit out of Safari

also tried restarting iPad and clearing all data as well as disabling detecting compromised passwords and autofill and it does not work

This issue was fixed for me in a recent iOS update. Make sure you're on the latest iOS 14.6. The issue was Safari. If you still have the problem, for now you could use a different browser for entering info. I used the Ecosia browser. No problems there. Others have suggested switching to Private browsing in Safari.

The update took care of the problem for me. None of the workarounds suggested here worked for me. Apple says the problem was Safari, but I had the same problem with Google Chrome so it was more than just that. If you update and the problem doesn't go away I would go into an Apple store and have them look at it because it did fix the problem for a lot of people. Of course, I can't say all people were fixed because not everyone posted back. I hope it works for you so you don't have to pursue it any further. It was extremely frustrating and was a problem for many months until they "fixed" it with the update. I'm using version 14.6 and I have an iPhone X. Good luck!
