I suppose some of you were well aware of what El Capitan was changing around security. However, it was not clear to me until I kept getting asked to enter my password to apple applciations usually icloud, then itunes, then another one. Also, some apps are not integrated properly with iCloud so each API call generates a failed login so you end up having to reset your password. I am on my 5th or 6th this month. And since they are enforcing no reuse of password for 12 months, whatever else rules they have that are not spelled out you have to use a password manager. If you have problems syncing that, you end up screwed on your other devices. Additionally, it takes time to open the app, remember its password, look up the app and copy and then paste. However, on ios 10, you can’t switch to the password manager and then switch back to icloud or something apple. You have to get a copy first then try the apple app and paste the password. A 10% reduction in productivity and 100% disatisfaction with Apple. They could have done this without involving the user so much. Last night they tried to lock me out for 24 hours because my security answer didn’t have a captial first letter. #blog
