I never use Safari's suggested strong passwords. I have my own method for generating passwords, and find it infuriating that I cannot type into a new password field until I dismiss the suggestion.
Is the only way to stop the suggested password from appearing to stop using keychain autofill?
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
Hey there cls_,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’d like to know if there is a way to have Safari stop suggesting passwords for you. We’ll be happy to help.
According to the following article - Autofill your user name and password in Safari on Mac - “When you start to create a new website password, and you have iCloud Keychain set up on your Mac, a unique, hard-to-guess password is suggested for you. If you don’t have iCloud Keychain set up, click in the password field, click the AutoFill Key, then choose Suggest New Password.”
It looks like this is expected behavior and turning the iCloud Keychain feature off would be the only way to stop this from occurring. If you like, you can leave feedback about this using the following link:
Take care.

Is there a way to turn off Safari's strong password suggestions without also disabling autofill?
