Is there a way to disable "use safari suggested password" shown below, without disabling autofill?

@Tetsujin while that works, I was wonder if there is a way to disable it since I never use it– Bilal Syed HussainNov 24, 2016 at 0:45

1Agreed, frequently it overwrites the generated password I just got from 1Password with its suggestion, which is infuriating.– chrispixMar 19, 2019 at 23:34

For those who navigate primarily by keyboard, the escape key dismisses the jarring prompt.– 2540625Jan 21, 2020 at 1:19

The correct answer is: there is no way to disable the suggested passwords "feature" without completely disabling auto-fill.

At least as of MacOS Ventura, it is possible to selectively turn off password suggestions without completely turning off autofill:
Safari > Settings > Passwords > Autofill > [unselect "User names and passwords"]
Safari->preferences->passwords, delete those you do not want.
