How to turn off Strong Password Suggestions on iPhone

I'm having this exact issue with my Hive heating. Hive only let you change your password on the phone app; however, because of this Apple Stong password suggestion, it is literally impossible to do so. Crazy such a flaw can be allowed to exist within iOS!

Edit: Found a fix, if you temporarily turn 'Autofill Passwords' off, do what you need to do password wise, and then you can turn it back on.

Nothing is broken. The system is working as intended. If you don't want to use a strong password suggestion, you can dismiss it.

You can also let Apple know your thoughts here:

How about telling Apple→Product Feedback - Apple, rather than other users in this user-to-user forum, who probably don’t care either way.

hey Lawrence, i looked for an applicable option there for software suggestions, but i only find options for feedback about software Apple already offers. do you know where else i might find that? thank you very much! 8-)

thanks again Lawrence, but i just checked and found this:

Product Feedback

Apple does, however, welcome your feedback regarding many areas of Apple’s existing business. If you want to send us feedback, we request that you use the forms located at www.apple.com/feedback, where you can choose from the many listed areas for your feedback. Please provide only specific feedback on Apple’s existing products, services and marketing strategies using those forms; and do not send or provide any submissions other than using those forms.

... so i'll have to contact Apple and ask if there is any official way to make such suggestions. otherwise with no other alternative, i suppose i'll just keep posting the suggestion on the user forums. thanks & have a great one! 8-)

Freeform is an existing Apple product. It is loaded as part of the OS so it's perfectly acceptable to provide feedback there.

Making suggestions here will not ever get them to Apple.

shall we somehow take a poll as to whether or not most Apple Macintosh users would prefer having a Paint app? because i recall seeing many posts in the past asking why it doesn't while MS Windows does. is there a method of doing such a poll? i'm just curious... perhaps there is a way...?

Please make an update to give the option “do not ask again” for the suggest sting password pop up. It’s a huge PIA. Apple already has my password stored but now I have to manually enter my passwords bc of this pop up.

Thanks for replying to the OP. The suggestion is for Apple to remove this as an autofill when creating a new password on a site. It's bad. It freezes whatever you're trying to do and honestly, is the main reason to not use Safari, which is quite frustrating. Whether on my phone or Macbook, it's becoming less beneficial to use the native browser for anything.

APPLE REMOVE THE STRONG SUGGESTED PASSWORD NO ONE LIKES IT. It’s just another pain that is useful for no one, make an easy way to turn it off. It was perfect when it saved existing passwords but now yall can’t even use your brains. Get it together

That's not true. Please don't presume to speak for everyone. I like it and find it useful. When I don't want to use it, I dismiss it.

What isn't useful is addressing Apple here in this forum. Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions so the only people you're shouting at are us, you're fellow users. If you want Apple to know your thoughts, use the feedback page:

Its one thing to add this annoying feature to our iPhone but its offensive how they believe fyvzap-tyvcuc-5Kufpo would be a good password << how are we suppose to remember that ? APPLE REVERSE IT NOBODY LIKES THE FEATURE .

So, you've talked to EVERYONE who owns an iPhone and asked them their opinion on this and EVERYONE said they don't like it? No, I didn't think so. In fact, I happen to like it so, not EVERYONE.

Also, Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts (which are no doubt contradicted by all the usage information Apple has) here:

Just turn it off. Chrome just allows a user to save their own password without “suggesting” this nonsense. In this case Apple, be more like Alphabet.

I figured it out! You have to turn off iCloud Keychain.

Exactly what I’m dealing with now. Maddening.
