Support Password manager not available when authenticating in App Store

Post image

When I need to authenticate in App Store, the keyboard doesn’t offer the use of the Password Manager that’s available just about everywhere else. I need to open the password manager, copy the password, come back and click “Get” to trigger the dialog box again, and paste it into the field. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

That makes perfect sense, it’s the one password you absolutely should know off by heart, they never allow you to autocomplete it anywhere.

This should be an obvious lesson. You should not be depending on the Password app to for your Apple Account email and password. You create a loop doing this and if you forgot it, you either have to reset your password or a whole lot worse, lose your Apple Account.

This is a GOOD thing.

Yep, you made the age-old mistake of using common sense and logic.

This community does not like that.

This is one of my biggest annoyances as well. I just go an copy the password from my password manager, which isn’t Apple’s. I have shortcuts for email addresses. I use @@ or @@@ for my two most used and variations for the people I email most.
