Right click - suggest strong password….
Done 🤣
Passwords, if you can remember them, they’re not secure.
Hugh,
There are two schools of thought over this, and choosing high entropy
memorable passwords are not deprecated. See:
https://bitwarden.com/blog/bitwarden-security-fundamentals-and-multifactor-encryption/
I've seen various articles over the years which, suggest that pass
phrases are better. For example, while you may be using a password
manager on your own devices, it may become necessary to access a site
using a different device, eg one belonging to a friend or relation. A
memorable pass phrase is really the only way to make this possible if
the machine you have to use is not connected to password manager's database.
