I've always been a little worried when using iOS8 because the popup to input usernames/passwords/passcodes looked very poorly designed by Apple's standards - there's an odd border around some very square text inputs, and the placeholder text is misaligned and not capitalised properly.
If I were more paranoid about the security of my phone I probably wouldn't have used these inputs because they seem a lot like a phishing attack - but I risked it an assumed it's just a bug or lazy reviewer at Apple.
- randyrand 11y agoWhen an app pops up and asks for my facebook or gmail, it's stupid that there is no equivalent guarentee like seeing the facebook or gmail url in a seperate window where you are filling out your password. Any iOS app that asks for access to an app can harvst passwords. No?
- kalleboo 11y agoI've also always been worried about that dialog since it pops up at the most random times, when some background iCloud connection fails or whatever and it guesses that it's an authentication issue rather than a network one. I've seen it show up on the homescreen, Safari, etc. I'm sure users are way too desensitized to those dialogs now. They should at the very least bounce you to Settings.app instead of showing the dialog inside whatever app you're using.

- joshstrange 11y agoThis 10000X over! I try to never enter my password into those prompts unless I know what caused it to pop. Apple has failed MASSIVELY buy popping it all the time for any number of things. They need to explain better WHY they need it again because everytime I see it I know it could be a fake one or one being used to just harvest my PW instead of log me into anything.
