How to turn off Strong Password Suggestions on iPhone

I've read through several forums but haven't found a straight answer. I like the way Safari auto fills my passwords whenever I'm visiting a known site. But I do not like the "strong Password suggestion" is there a way to remove the suggestion option? I'd hate to stop using Safari for this issue, not only is it time consuming when you're in a rush but also it'll tend to make my iPhone lag whenever I'm selecting from the options. (iPhone 14 Pro Max too) I know it might be an iOS 16 glitch but still, I need this to be an option. Stop forcing us to use features we do not wish, make them options please.

Hi AppleDude909.

If you are using AutoFill Passwords as mentioned in Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPhone there is no way to stop the suggestions of a strong password.

We are always looking for ways to improve our products, so we encourage you to leave feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

This is the best way to have your voice heard by our designers and engineers.

Cheers!

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:

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.

Leaving a reply here bc I’m not sure how apple discussions work, and I hope I will get an update when someone figures this out. It is insufferable for what I’ve paid for my apple device
