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 hate that so much. You also can’t paste, right? I end up having to look it up on a different device.

@maxfenton @waldoj Makes me so mad. I have 16-character passwords that are really difficult to type, especially on touch screens.

I'm even madder that my iOS PIN is used to "safeguard" my Apple account. Just when it looked safe to use iCloud finally (encryption at rest) they facilitate the weakest links.

@skry @waldoj I’ve changed the child password to a secure one I can both remember and type fast on an ipad screen and … that’s terrible.
