> Switch to a phrase-based password.
I assume that's why it's 50+ characters long, as opposed to 20 gibberish characters. Because phrase-based passwords are longer. And whether it's 40 or 50 or 50+ doesn't even matter, the point is it's not short like a 6-digit PIN.
I have the exact same problem. It's still incredibly annoying to type on a touchscreen keyboard. If you mistype one character...
So no, it's not the commenter's fault. And it's certainly not mine. I'm doing the best with the tools I have available. It's Apple's fault, mainly.
Phrase-based passwords are far easier to type and remember than random gibberish at 20 characters. I would much rather type a 10x longer sentence than type random characters, even on mobile. It's far easier to validate a passphrase because we, as humans, will notice mispellings quite fast. It's only difficult if you're not english speaking, or have dyslexia - where I would refer you back to the original point: you don't need a 50 character password. Ever.
