This is my least-favorite iOS dialog box, the one where they want you to type in your Apple ID password. There is no option to get it from your password manager. There is no Apple Watch, Face ID, or passcode option. Because it’s an OS-level dialog box, you can’t check our password manager.

What Apple is telegraphing here is “your Apple ID password must be memorable.” And that is bad. They should stop doing this.

@waldoj I thought long sentences were considered secure

@jordanreiter They're pretty good! 1Password doesn't create memorable sentences, and I'm too lazy to create custom passwords—but maybe I should for my Apple ID if I'm gonna have to remember it sometimes.
