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 The dance is always the same: something, something, something, this dialog, cancel, switch to password manager, login, find (the right) Apple ID, copy the password, back to something, something, this dialog, paste, ok...it adds a lot of friction considering this is often the point at which they want money. Sometimes I never bother to return.
I only know three passwords: my login password, my password manager pass phrase, and my SSH key pass phrase.
