Allow me to disagree. Apple is doing the right thing asking the user confirmation for installing apps. Better safe than sorry.

- nupark2 15y agoConfirmation doesn't necessarily require password input.
- larrik 15y agoAs the father of a talented 3 year old: yes it does.
- lazerwalker 15y agoIf clever children are the main argument against not requiring password confirmation, it sounds like "always require password on purchase" could be a great Parental Controls toggle.
- mdonahoe 15y agoWhat if your kid downloads an app that tracks your location constantly? Should apple make you enter your password when the app asks for permission?
- ydant 15y agoAndroid Market / Play solves this by letting you set a PIN that's required to make purchases (which does not include Free app installs). It seems like a good compromise.
- untog 15y agoAs nupark2 says, the password doesn't have to be involved. It's tempting me to change my password to something as short and simple as possible, which is pretty much the opposite of what I should be doing.
- ryanbraganza 15y agoThe android market (oops, i mean Play) has an option to require entering a PIN before a purchase is made.
