Disable `use safari suggested password` without disabling autofill

Question

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 Hussain, Nov 24 '16 at 00:45
This misbehavior makes it very problematic to use my third-party password manager to create and store passwords. — Andrew Wolfe, Feb 02 '19 at 17:20
Agreed, frequently it overwrites the generated password I just got from 1Password with its suggestion, which is infuriating. — chrispix, Mar 19 '19 at 23:34
For those who navigate primarily by keyboard, the escape key dismisses the jarring prompt. — 2540625, Jan 21 '20 at 01:19

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.

The question isn't about auto-filling existing passwords, it's about automatically creating new passwords. – Calion Dec 04 '19 at 16:48
