You don't need to at all. I use two separate Apple IDs on my iOS devices. Apple ID accounts are individually configurable for most, if not all iCloud/App Store services.
If no one uses a feature the feature might as well not exist.
Okay, I have a question. AppleID and pw non-withstanding, I have experienced the following. I played Where's my water2 recently and came to the end where you have to pay to get additional levels. No biggie, I did this with the first game as well. But, when I clicked the in app purchase and entered my password I was prompted with a pop saying I needed to answer my 3 security questions next. Of course I hit cancel and…
I think you get 3 or 4 tries before they lock your account, I had gotten 1 question wrong 2x an didn't want the account locked because of a typo.
Admittedly, Android does it much better by providing oAuth, an easy way to get the users sign in, and of course APIs for almost all the popular features. And also, for installing $0 apps you don't need any credit card details at all. Even the buttons are different "Install" v/s "Buy".
First of all this has nothing to do with iOS/Android. This is an app trying to access a web service. Apple needs to provide oath or similar for accessing their iCloud services.

This is untrue. I couldn't download any free apps until I had setup a merchant account with credit card.

To quote JWZ: "You have invoked the "Oh, but there's a preference to turn off that stupid behavior" defense. I am showering you with negativity." (Yes, it's not a preference pedantically, it's an option to create multiple accounts. Still the default and most used is using one account).

Who doesn't use this feature? Single people, that's who. People with families have known about this feature for years. The sales staff at the Apple Stores specifically bring it up.
Hey everybody, Pierre from @sunrise. This is the blog post we've just published to give more context: "Users sometimes ask us why we require the user’s Apple ID and password in Sunrise, instead of using the local Calendar API. That’s a great question to ask, and we understand why users don’t want to share their credentials without context. We’ve thought a lot about that. The two reasons why we are doing this are: - o…

Can you explain how it is possible to generate secure tokens? I can't find anything related to it from the iCloud documentations.
But thinking about it, it's a CalDAV server which normally uses email + password to authenticate..

Of course you can, but you need to do extra work to store and synchronise calenders.

I'm an engineer an I didn't know you could use two accounts for different tasks on the same device. Just never thought about it, because why would I? Not a reasonable workaround, I agree.
Anyone with family members using their iTunes account would and has for many years. That's why it's there.
