Not Possible to Create Password?

The suggested password is pretty much guaranteed to be more secure than any password you create. But you don’t have to accept it, you can still just enter your own password by tapping in the password field. Apple’s suggested password is saved in the Keychain, and you can view and copy it if you want to by going to Settings/Passwords on your phone.

In addition to Lawrence Finch’s comment, you should see an “other options” option presented something like the bottom below. (This is from an iPad.)

Every time I try to create a password, on any site or app, my phone will "suggest a strong password" and will not give me the option to create my own.

This is making is literally impossible to update my security because I'm not using some stupid password that Apple suggest.

You are aware Safari will automatically store the strong password for you (or a weak password, or a user-selected password), and will pick and store that password in a way that will not be subject to cramming or phishing or other very common attacks, and will automatically load that password into the login prompt when you next need to use the password, and Safari (when iCloud Keychain is active) will have that password available across all of your Apple devices?

Lawrence, thanks for your comment.

I didn’t expect this, but when I attempted the screenshot on my iPad, the entire dark grey section at the bottom was omitted! This occurred in both portrait and landscape mode.

I ended up photographing the iPad screen using my iPhone to create the image above.

Thanks, sberman. I was too lazy to do that and create a screenshot😏
