This makes perfect sense. The only way around it would be to randomize the location of the digits/letters, and I’m sure people would throw a fit if that was the case. Still it should be an option.

Or just not show people what you're typing.

That's what they actually did if you read the article. They don't pass through the eyes the same when you're on a keyboard now.

Or just use a f***ing password manager?! (Unlocked with retinaID same as with faceID on iPhone)

We are not in 2010 anymore…
