Today, this happened to me, too. Very weird and very annoying indeed.

Authenticating to a service such as the App Store via password without using a password manager feels very anachronistic and insecure.

This always makes me think that there has to be a better solution than passwords for authentication. Password managers such as 1Password are great but they still are a work-around for an essentially broken system. Plus as long as there's no close OS integration we'll always run into situations like this.
