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

It seems that if you go to Settings —> Passwords —> AutoFill Passwords, then toggle off AutoFill Passwords, that Safari no longer freezes when you attempt to enter a Password on account creations. Safari Private Browsing also seems to be unaffected by the freezing on password creation entry regardless of whether AutoFill Passwords is turned on or not.

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 .

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?
