Account credentials will usually be automatically added to your Saved Passwords (i.e., your Keychain) when signing-in to a service for the first time from your iPad. You will usually see a prompt to save the credentials.


When manually adding new credentials to your Saved Passwords, the Add Password page will automatically create a complex password for the entry. If you wish to use a different Password (presumably because the account already exists elsewhere), simply tap and edit the Password field before saving with the Done button.
