## Discussion

Discussion To return results, you must call ``ASCredentialProviderExtensionContext/completeGeneratePasswordRequest(results:completionHandler:)`. note: When this method is called, your extension’s view controller is not present on the screen. userInteractionRequired will not be honored and treated as a failure. note: You should not update or replace any existing credentials when this API is called. To indicate support for this feature, add SupportsGeneratePasswordCredentials under the ASCredentialProviderExtensionCapabilities dictionary. Info.plist ├─ NSExtension     ├─ NSExtensionAttributes         ├─ ASCredentialProviderExtensionCapabilities             ├─ SupportsSavePasswordCredentials => true             ├─ SupportsGeneratePasswordCredentials => true
