Yup. My Apple password is one of the very few remaining ones that isn't a random string generated by 1Password because Apple makes me enter it all the time. :(

"For your protection".

I agree, the number of times per week that I somehow end up entering my Apple ID password is egregious. Couple that with the abysmal iCloud/Apple ID/iPhone number conflicts that inevitably show up when you have more than one device. I've spent more hours than I care to remember working on my parents' devices fixing glitchy synchs.

FWIW I use 1pw's diceware generator for any password I might have to enter on iOS, Roku, PS4, etc.

Much easier to remember when looking from screen to screen and fewer keyboard shifts.
