Apple watch asking for apple ID password.

Why is my apple watch 7 asking for a password for my apple ID?

This tiny little screen where it is even difficult to see normal letters I am now supposed to type in a secure password that was created with a password generator? It's stupid!!!

I had to change my password from this long secure password to some short stupid password that is highly insecure. I expect Apple to assume the full responsibility for this security risk that they have created.


I just don't know who could be so incredibly stupid as to request a password to be typed in by hand in such a small tiny device making it impossible to use a secure password to protect your account. I have had apple watches since they first came out and I have never had any problems like this before, so I am greatly disappointed.

So Apple has a hard time handle criticism.

They promptly removed my response to NaiNai428 where I directed serious criticism against their lack of supporting secure apple accounts.


We all know, at least those of us who are involved with the computer industry, that short easy to crack passwords does not cut it anymore. So I am questioning why they instead of increasing security to accounts like apple id has chosen to go in the opposite direction like requiring 2-factor authentication?
