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 my gripe is they won't tell me my password no matter what hoops I jump through and apparently over the years I've used all my email addresses to set up Apple IDs with forgotten passwords so they won't let me create a new one either, nor can I sign out of the iPad to sign in with any other one I may know.
