Apple has really dropped the ball in the software department.
It’s been one disaster after another. ‘It just works’ should be replaced by it just Bricks’.
I just upgraded my 5S to 9.3.1 skipping 9.3.0. It immediately prompted me for my Apple Password. I use a password manager because it is complex. Could I get to my password manager? No. Did I know, or was I advised I of a new requirement of needing a password right off the bat? No. Fortunately .1 lets you defer the password, I guess .0 doesn’t. On top of that my Win10 iTunes had to be re-installed and the USB driver didn’t install properly.
This is exactly the kind of stuff that gets Apple in trouble.
Software is all about attention to the smallest details, and Apple is blowing it in the details department.
Being dependent on a single application to remember all your passwords is not a good practice.
I was interested in how the discussion on this thread shifted from “Apple lost its Privacy Fight” to the software sucks.
I guess people couldn’t defend the indefensible, that is, giving the government carte blanche to your data because they want to see a company (they often harbor an irrational antipathy towards) get its nose rubbed in the dirt.
Of course it does. That is part of the security. It has done that for the last several updates. Pay attention. YOU need to know your AppleID password, not the same device that may get stolen. SHEESH!
If you use a password manager like Dashlane, your passwords are encrypted and available across several (all of your) devices.
The failure here is not Apple’s, it’s yours for not understanding how to manage your personal security.
