Final answer:

To stop Apple from suggesting passwords, disable the AutoFill Password feature on your iOS device's Settings under Passwords & Accounts or Passwords, or on your Mac within Safari Preferences under the Passwords tab.

Step-by-step explanation:

To stop Apple from suggesting passwords, you can disable the AutoFill Password feature in your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Here are the general steps:

  1. Go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap Passwords & Accounts or just Passwords on the newer iOS versions.
  3. Tap AutoFill Passwords.
  4. Turn off the AutoFill Passwords switch.

On a Mac:

  1. Open Safari.
  2. Click on Safari in the menu bar, then select Preferences.
  3. Click the Passwords tab.
  4. Uncheck the box for 'AutoFill user names and passwords'.

By doing this, Apple will no longer suggest passwords when you create new accounts or change existing ones.
