When you sign up with Apple because you’ve got an iPod or an iPhone, or an iPad, or a host of other reasons, you get an Apple ID. The Apple ID password is really important; you end up using it fairly often.

And Apple has a new thing, where if you mistype your password too many times they tell you, “So sorry, you’ve entered the wrong password too many times; you’ll have to reset it.” This is intended to protect me, of course, from some bozo you steals my phone and wants to buy tunes or apps on my nickel, and as such I approve of it.

But today, I mistyped my password twice. That’s two times. T-W-O. And the second time it informed me that I was going to have to reset my password.

This goes beyond protecting me; this is just annoying.
