Yes, because Apple's solution to security is to require you to enter numerous different passwords, frequently and repeatedly, just like on macOS.
Apple has taken a naive approach to security in this way, and while the motivations for having different iCloud based passwords might make sense from their POV, I am finding it incredibly frustrating every time I go to use a product or service on an Apple product having to re-enter a password over and over again, and I don't want this kind of stupidity to increase when using my phone.
If you are holding a hardware device that has unique ID built into it, there is a difference between a specific phone accessing a service vs someone trying to hack into the service from a remote IP address. The two are NOT the same procedures. I should never have to enter a password on a phone, period, except to unlock the device to use in the first place. The threat is not from someone picking up your phone and accessing a service, unless you are stupid, never password protected access to your phone and have a habit of leaving it lying around, then that is ALL your fault, period. The REAL threat is someone hacking into an iCloud service from a computer in some troll's basement.
Apple should understand and recognize the difference between a specific PHONE accessing iCloud, which should not require a ridiculous multitude of passwords and multi-stage protection, vs a HACkER accessing someone else's iCloud account. There must be numerous ways for a SMART company to figure out the difference between a person holding an actual SMART device to access a service vs someone trying to emulate a device, maybe start using all those ****ing gyroscopes, GPS and barometer and other sensors on the phone to identity when a real person is accessing their account vs some ****tard hacker 12 time zones away.
If I access iCloud from a web browser on some random computer then sure, require 2 stage authentication and challenge me to enter credentials often, but if I have to do this on my own phone it is ALL unnecessary.
The whole industry is being stupid and naive about security. YES there are real and terrible threats out there to our digital privacy and security, but these billion dollar companies are just not using their money to invest in smart ways to achieve the right balance of ease of access for the right user vs impossible to access for someone else. Adding more passwords and layers or password protection is just a cheap and stupid solution.
I.e. maybe its time to apply that MACHINE LEARNING that Apple seems to be all talk and no action about, and figure out a way for a service to understand a request for access from a legit user vs general hackery without gobs of ****ing passwords.
