How to turn off Strong Password Suggestions on iPhone

"Viewing and voting on other people's suggestions is not a feature that is offered." -- fully understood. that's why i said, " it would be wonderful if we could view all the suggestions & even vote on them.". i believe i have already made that suggestion as well, however, i've not yet found a good "catch all" for making general suggestions, not relative to a particular "app", other than writing the CEO. i hope this helps clear up my apparent miscommunication. 😎

And that's why I suggested the feedback page. Apple has made it pretty clear they are not going to expend the enormous amount of time it would take to parse these forums for feedback.

Something like password suggestions is a feature of the operating system, so, use the section of Feedback related to the operating system you're using. Ditto for any pre-installed apps. And, when you can't figure out the right place, do your best and make sure that you are clear in the text box. It will get figured out.

My guess is that sending suggestions like that to Mr. Cook is not going to accomplish much.

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 .

You aren’t supposed to remember it, because the Keychain app on your phone remembers it and inserts it automatically whenever it is needed. I never have to enter a password, because Safari retrieves it from the Passwords feature and inserts it automatically.

Strongly agree, this feature is annoying me on any form I try to fill, and now it blocked me for applying for a new job!!

Its February 2023. Is this fixed?

Use the choice for iOS or iPhone. The people that manage Feedback are pretty smart, and will figure out where to put it in the request database.

"Working as intended" and "working the way you want it to work" are not necessarily the same.

Let Apple know you don't like it:

Simple work around. Go to your iCloud the Passwords and Keychain and turn that off. Take care of your business and go back and turn it back on.

Yeah it’s so ridiculous that is can’t be disabled. One of the most annoying features.

Have you told Apple what you think?

I couldn't figure it out. Chrome seems like a sane alternative. Seems to integrate seamlessly, and avoids Apple's enforced "brilliant ideas".

Yes, that's what I said. Did you contact Apple as I recommended?

The issue is that as soon as you focus on the "confirm" new password texttfield, it will prompt you again and erase what you had entered in the new password textfield!!!!

Even if you specify both fields with "new password" textContentType as mentioned in documentation when dealing with these two types of fields.

No, I'm not seeing that.

The fact more than one person is stating the issue NOW including myself, Mind you it's SPECIFIC APPS I found out. Apple shouldn't force something on us as consumers and make "Strong Password" an option in the settings alone. They don't listen though so it doesn't matter lol.

Can we get an update on a fix for this that allows for Safari filling in saved passwords, but disables “strong password”? For folks with many passwords, having to continually dismiss “strong password” is really an inconvenience.

This is a community forum where Apple users try to help other Apple users with technical questions. You are not talking to Apple here. We cannot provide information on Apple updates. The best way to communicate with Apple is to provide feedback, as suggested.

HUGE PROBLEM. My elderly mother keeps getting locked out of her accounts because of this. I got ) stuck on a screen for DOD login... my password is saved but Apple dropped in a strong password (I was not trying to change it. I had to reset my password 3 times... Here is the kicker. I went to Chrome and had no problems. Grrrrrr

Apple PLEASE FIX THIS

As we said before, you are not talking to Apple here. But let me ask, which device is your mother using to log in and what is its iOS? Depending on the device, it may be possible to set her up with Face ID. That would avoid having to login.
