You sure about that? The screenshots in the article don't show the keyboard being a different color with a legitimate pop-up.
On my iPhone it does. It goes from a light grey (normal keyboard) to a dark grey (system password entry keyboard).
Not that a user should have to know "only enter your password into the black keyboard", which can also be faked mind.
Isn't this one of the oldest tricks in the book? the following story is completely made up... When I was in college me and a friend re-made the win2000 login sequence in visual basic to play pranks on people. After typing username and password it pretended to load and then just quit itself so the desktop would show so it looked like everything was fine. We'd then go in and do the classic "take a screenshot of your de…

An aside, but wouldn’t you be better off with each person having their own Apple ID and using family sharing to share apps and such?
There's one annoying omission from family sharing: no IAP are included. And almost every kids game has one. Not talking freemium but just ones with one free level that gets kids hooked.
Can anyone parse this sentence? I have no idea what it's trying to say: Nope, actually, that's how the system dialog looks like, the . is within the "string notation, so I designed the phishing dialog to also include this little, but very important design detail

`"email@email.com."` inside the quotation markers.
He's saying he knows it looks weird, but you have to get that detail right to look exactly like the system dialog

I have a joke with my family that I am forced to enter iTunes password on at least one iOS device - daily. We share one iTunes account, and when you enter the password on one device, all the others prompt for a password when unlocked. It's mildly frustrating when you have kids, and multiple iOS devices. The scenario goes like this: One of my kids' Messages app stops working (thanks Apple!). I am forced to turn off/on…

In the end, I just let him watch it on my device and he was happy. Myself? I'm of the opinion that whoever design Apple Family Sharing should be ashamed. It's a horribly convoluted system that was either a) never tested by a real family (or they were completely ignored) or b) designed to be horrible on purpose.

legit -> "bill@apple.com." not-legit -> "bill@apple.com"
But you're right, it's a terrifically difficult sentence to read.

I'm sure there is a better way, but it would probably require a "weekends worth" of time to convert my entire iOS empire . When we started with Apple, "family sharing" and "ask to buy" wasn't a thing (so I'm not locked into the shared model) but I will definitely check it out - I didn't know I could create an Apple ID for my child AND share apps among all family members.

I wrote this email to sjobs@apple.com back in 2011. Never heard back :-/ Dear Steve, There's one thing that's always bothered me about MacOS security. When a MacOS dialog pops up (e.g. to ask you for your password), there'sno way to tell for sure that it's MacOS that owns the dialog. A similar problem exists on the iPhone when I am asked for my iTunes password. I wanted to write and suggest an easy fix, that would ma…
Prescient of you! Although I’m skeptical that users will really be alerted by the absence of a thing. The users I work with wouldn’t. But I would prefer it. The inability to use the home button on the dialogues has become second nature to me out of healthy distrust/ paranoia.
