I once wrote an email to Steve Jobs, saying that operating systems like MacOS and iOS should have a secret phrase or icon that they show to you whenever they show a system-level security dialog. (And of course implement the same restrictions on screenshots of that dialog as they do for movies.) Because otherwise, an app can totally fake the interface of a security dialog. The only way you know, these days, is that password managers and cookie jars work with the "approved" sites, but they can simply show you a site that doesn't require those, and then fool you into entering your passwords! Steve never replied to me. And Apple never implemented it.
