Difficulty creating password
I go through a lot of rework steps every time I try to create a new password. One of the biggest annoyances is that when 1P suggests a password, I do something to record that password because 1P does...

I have just discovered something that might be part of the cause. When you use the 1P suggested password, I was expecting it to populate right away. It looks like "nothing happens". But in fact if you wait 7-10 seconds, it does populate the entry field on the web form, and also update in the 1P database and widget.
So this issue is not that "nothing happens at all", it is that the expected time for the action to complete is longer than expected, so I prematurely think nothing is happening.
This is on an Apple Studio so it is not a case of a slow computer.
I am thinking that perhaps the browser and extension interface plus online update just happens to take that long. So a simple approach without dealing with the underlying delay would be to display a spinner or similar to indicate that the user should just wait.
