encrypted iPhone backup password

I made an encrypted backup of my iphone XR. I did not enter a password for the backup. I'm at the screen asking for the password to unlock the backup. Does Apple generate a password if none is provided when creating the backup?

When asked, make a password. Create one that you'll remember or write it down and store it safely, because there's no way to use your backup without this password. If you forgot your password, learn what to do.
