This is basically what passkeys are, right? Except the autogenerated password isn't even shown to the user, just stored immediately in the user’s password manager.

(I recognize that it’s a bit more involved, eg if i get it right, passkeys add some public key encryption to the mix to avoid sending the “password” over the wire needlessly often etc, but those are just icing on the cake as far as I’m concerned)
