VoiceOver sometimes loses focus after clicking the "Use strong password" button in Safari

Category
Safari
Severity
Moderate

Description

After clicking the “Use strong password” button in the popover that appears after focusing on a field to create a new password in Safari, VoiceOver focus sometimes moves out of the web content, requiring you to navigate back to where you left off on the webpage.

To reproduce this issue, navigate to the account creation page on a website and place VoiceOver focus on the field to create a new password. Assuming iCloud Keychain is enabled, a popover should appear offering to autofill a strong password into the field.

Bug First Encountered

macOS Sonoma 14.0

How often the bug occurs

Sometimes

Workaround

Click the “Other options” button in the popover, select “copy strong password” from the resulting menu, and then select “choose my own password” from the same menu. The popover should then be dismissed, at which point you can choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V) to paste the strong password into the now empty password field on the website.
