to upgrade to an automatic strong password.." - Apple Platform Security Guide pg 126

Automatic strong passwords
"When iCloud Keychain is enabled, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS create strong, random, unique
passwords when users sign up for or change their password on a website in Safari. In iOS
and iPadOS, automatic strong password generation is also available in apps. Users must
opt out of using strong passwords. Generated passwords are saved in the keychain and
kept up to date across devices with iCloud Keychain, when it’s enabled."
By default, passwords generated by iOS and iPadOS are 20 characters long. They contain
one digit, one uppercase character, two hyphens, and 16 lowercase characters. These
generated passwords are strong, containing 71 bits of entropy."
