When this passcode requirement started appearing some months ago, my first thought was what broke? I searched apple.com multiple times as well as other apple-specific sites to try and find out what happened and how I can turn it off because its really annoying. And I found absolutely nothing. Nobody was reporting on it anywhere. This is the first article I've seen the documents what's going on and that it is intentional. Now that I know, I hate it even more. But it still pisses me off that Apple instituted this policy but never mentioned it.
