   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.

     @bflipp @skry @waldoj don’t forget to do that song and dance quick enough that your clipboard doesn’t auto-clear the copied password.

     @skry @waldoj You can definitely paste. You just have to cancel out, open your password manager, copy your password then trigger the prompt again. It’s an extra step but I’ve never had an issue using my extremely not type-able iCloud password in iOS.

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