LPT: A random password is generated for you when manually adding an account to passwords/keychain on iOS (lemmy.ml)

Sometimes when making accounts online the suggested password prompt doesn’t show up. Until now I had been using an online random password generator to make the password when the prompt is not available. I just found out that if I go to the passwords screen in settings an manually add an account the password field is pre-filled with a random password which is very convenient.

This is such a good idea in theory but I don't want my passwords locked to one platform. This goes for practically all password managers. If I want to enter that password in Chrome on Windows, I don't want to painstakingly copy a 16 digit password made from random characters from my iphone's keychain.

If you use Windows, you can install iCloud Keychain for Windows to access keychain.

and/or use the Chrome extension
