It&amp;#x27;s a good idea, too, since your AppleID is tied to your debit card or credit card, so if someone got a hold of your unlocked iDevice, if the AppleID password wasn&amp;#x27;t required, they could install as many apps as your debit card or credit card will allow. That&amp;#x27;s no good. Getting a refund for an AppStore App is near impossible.</text><parent_chain><item><author>bamboozled</author><text>Does anyone else hate the way it&amp;#x27;s now a requirement to enter your password for an App store purchase?&lt;p&gt;What is the point of that?
