Password suggestion does not work for Apple ID

When I want to create a password on any website, Safari suggests a strong password. But this does not work when I want to change my password for Apple ID, either on my Mac or on the web. Why is that?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

What’s the error or diagnostic when you try making the change?


Seems Apple could re-think or could special-case the password suggestion for their own site, yes.

Might want to suggest this directly, so that the folks from Apple see it: Product Feedback - Apple
