This under-the-radar update should help prevent you from re-using weak passwords across multiple sites, now that it's even easier to sync your passwords across devices while using your application of choice. iCloud Passwords does not suggest new passwords, like in Safari, but you can quickly access all stored passwords in System Settings (System Preferences) or open the page in Safari, and generate a strong password in either of those applications. In addition to auto-filling passwords, the iCloud Passwords extension can also save passwords to your iCloud Keychain when creating or signing into a new account. To complete the auto-fill, you'll need to authenticate through macOS through Touch ID, your passwords, or a paired Apple Watch.

If you quit the application (either from the menu bar, or by pressing Command+Q), you'll need to enter a new code when you sign in to a website again.
