You can right click any password field in Chrome and the first option is "generate random password".
2 Issues are the they (1) it is unreadable by humans instead of being a passphrase, and (2) The generator does not read any rules off the page so you might have to add a special character.
But the functionality has existed for over a decade
@Rooster326 @1984 it also asks if you would like to generate a secure password, rather than it just being on right-click, in most "new password" fields.
Google password manager also warns you if you have duplicated passwords saved in it and prompts you to create new, unique ones.
I don't like Google but they do ok with password management I think.
