Agreed, Apple's authentication system is obnoxious. Compounding this is the fact that they force you to reset your password if you enter it wrong more than once

Agreed, Apple's authentication system is obnoxious. Compounding this is the fact that they force you to reset your password if you enter it wrong more than once, ensuring that you're never going to remember it. I basically have to answer my security questions and pick a new 8-char password with upper and lowercase letters and numbers every time I want to download a new app.
