I wish the article put more emphasis onto the facg that TikTok was requesting the password through a system prompt. They don't have anyone's passwords, just a conformation from the device that the correct password was inputted. This is such a nothingburger.

All that aside...is this an nypost article referencing a Dextero article referencing an (unsourced) reddit comment?

Indeed. If you do a quick image search you can find screenshots of the same prompt for other apps: https://guide.duo.com/static/images/en/iphone-passcode_2x.pn...

But obviously "tiktok = china = bad" doesn't apply, so no ragebait article.

I haven't seen these sorts of native prompts. Even passkey prompts open with a popover toast that covers the bottom part of the screen to confirm which account you want to use. Do you know what mechanism Duo is using in this example?

Edit: could this be a prompt from a failed faceID authentication for the app's secure enclave storage? most of those prompts aren't cancelable, but this tiktok one is

Normally you'll see a prompt like "touch/face id for [app name]". If the authentication fails, you'll have the option to enter your passcode, which opens the screen in the above screenshot.
