Hi Justin2884,


For help with your iPhone recommending passwords to use with your accounts, ensure the iOS is fully updated. If needed, the article here will assist: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support



If fully updated, continue with the steps below found in the guide here: Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPhone - Apple Support


"Create a strong password for a new account


Depending on the website or app, creating a strong password and saving it to iCloud Keychain usually consists of steps similar to these.

  1. On the new account screen for the website or app, enter a new account name. For supported websites and apps, iPhone suggests a unique, complex password.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose the suggested password: Tap Use Strong Password.
  • Edit the suggested password: Tap Other Options, tap Edit Strong Password, tap the password text field, then make your changes.
    • To copy the password so you can paste it into a Confirm Password field if asked, double-tap the password field, tap Select All, then tap Copy.
    • Get a different strong password: Tap Other Options, tap Edit Strong Password, then tap the suggested password.
    • Get a strong password consisting of only numbers and letters: Tap Other Options, then tap No Special Characters.
    • Get a strong password that’s easy to type: Tap Other Options, then tap Easy to Type.
    • Make up your own password: Tap Other Options, then tap Choose My Own Password.

3.To later allow iPhone to automatically fill in the password for you, tap Yes when you’re asked if you want to save the password.


Note: In order for iPhone to create and store passwords, iCloud Keychain must be turned on. Go to Settings  > [your name] > iCloud > Passwords and Keychain."
