You're absolutely correct and this has made Suggested Passwords pretty aggravating. My hunch is this has to do with how some websites are coded. While not solving the problem, in MacOS Ventura you'll be able to select Edit Strong Password and select the password and copy it to cache before it's lost. https://imgur.com/a/RWbuI8X Sorry, I'm not sure about on iPhone. All you can do is use Forgot My Password or Reset Password for the website to initiate the reset for you. Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

Hello! In the “All” password list, tap the ↑↓ icon (bottom left) and choose Date Created. ... I’ve just discovered this regression in iOS 18 too. In 17 you could simply see all recently generated passwords.

How do you find recently generated passwords on iphone?
I have an account I need to access ASAP that I recently generated a password for which for some reason my phone did not save, but the password reset system is not working so now I am completely locked out, so I need to find the password the phone generated. ... This was available in iOS 17. iOS 18 removed that capability by design.

r/applehelp on Reddit: How to find Apple "strong password" if not in keychain?
October 6, 2022 -
I allowed Apple to create a strong password for an app I use on my iPhone but after being logged out and trying to log back in, there is no record of the password in iCloud keychain making it impossible to log into the app. Is there anyway to find it?

I know this is fairly old thread. But since this is what came up when I searched for 'how do I find a password that I just generated on apple mac book", I figure I should add a response so that the next person that comes across this thread will hopefully benefit. In the current version of MacOS with a dedicated password app, recently generated passwords are a separate window. You can view that window after you open the password app, and click on "View -> Generated Passwords" in the menu bar at the top. https://imgur.com/a/L2cFaCo

Not only you. It happens to me too. And it happens on Mac book pro and iPad pad pro.
The solutions I’ve tried include looking in my passwords; no solution provided. Other solution includes backspacing on that website looking at history, taking a picture of the password (The problem with that is I can never get a full picture of the password as it fades in the field).
I believe that it’s due to the different URLs that the webpage is used when creating a pass. Often I have to go to my gmail to authenticate The password, and then I am directed to a different URL. And then everything is messed up.
What I’m doing is using a password that’s real simple to create an account. Once the account is created I go in and reset the password with the strong password and it seems to work.

Sadly this is a problem that happens with certain websites, and sometimes due to a small hick-up. (of you followed some of the links on google they all have there reasons, Im sure I don't have to repeat them here)
Why they haven't got a feature (like Dashlane) to show you the recently created but not saved passwords is a mystery to me. AFAIK you'll have to reset your password.

I am on an iPad Air running iPadOS 18.2.1. 456 3 ... I have a similar problem, however even if I use a generated password by pressing the fill and save button, it doesn’t update the password in the password app, so when I try to log into website afterwards ,it auto fills my old saved password instead of the new one. if I go into passwords I can find the new auto generated password under the title of recently generated passwords, I then have to copy it, paste into website and then I get the box confirmation to update password in keychain.

iOS 18: Find Your Passwords on iPhone - MacRumors
December 10, 2024 - With iOS 18, Apple introduced its first dedicated Passwords app, which corrals all of your saved logins and passwords within a simple interface and secures them behind your biometric authentication.
