How to turn off Strong Password Suggestions on iPhone

Easiest solution

Touch the password box once, then touch it AGAIN. Touch AUTOFILL in the pop-up. Touch your password from the autofill menu. This by-passes any use of a suggestion or need to ignore it. Simples!

I'm going to school for IT and part of the lab is entering username and passwords but safari always recognizes it and asks to generate a password, its so annoying and I never would imagine to use this feature because I have a couple passwords that I need to know to log onto other non-apple devices. There's no way for this randomly generated password thing to work for any of my logins. They NEED to allow us to disable this feature

To keep autofill but turn off strong password suggestions ➡️ settings >account> icloud> Keychain & passwords >turn off sync. This stops passwords being stored in iCloud, so you need to have set autofill for each device.

This is an awful function! Not only can’t I read or remember the password but half the time it won’t remember it so I have to do everything all over again! This is right up there with having the worst phone keyboard in the world!!

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?

You can suggest it to Apple→Product Feedback - Apple

"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:

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

Have you told Apple what you think?

You are absolutely right!

Turning "Autofill Passwords" off did the trick - thank you.

i believe i have. i was also under the impression that some Apple reps read these forums. and really, Macintosh users *ought* to care. have a wonderful day! 8-)

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.

thank you, however my intention was not to provide feedback about the Freeform app, but rather to suggest Apple offer a [Mac] Paint app. i opted to write to Tim Cook directly.

yes a very annoying feature. Apple really needs to make this optional.
