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 don't entirely disagree and I'm also frustrated by this behavior, but I imagine that Apple views the Apple ID in much the same way that a password manager company views their own master password, which must itself be memorable. And since Apple's ecosystem also does offer password management, it's not entirely unjustified right?
My Apple ID is just another account for me, so I wish its login prompts behaved that way, but for many people (like my mom) it's also her password manager.
