How can I make it easier to enter iTunes password on iPhone?

It's a big pain to have to keep re-entering the iTunes password on the iPhone when buying apps (even free ones!). It's even more of a nuisance now because the Apple ID is imposing the use of strong passwords, ie min 8 characters, mix of cases, letters/numbers and punctuation. This is a lot of touchpad keystrokes and error-prone.
I had previously changed to a simple (weak) password in order to make it more practical to use the iTunes store on my iPhone but this is no longer an option because (a) I have the same password for iTunes and for Apple ID and (b) Apple ID is now imposing mandatory strong passwords.
My question is:
Is there a way to make entering the iTunes password on iPhone easier, eg by one-time saving it; or by allowing a different p/w for iTunes and Apple ID; or some other means? As far as I can gather, the iTunes accoundt and the Apple ID have to be the same (and therefore the password the same) but maybe that's not the case?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Howard

No.
Blame the hackers for forcing Apple to impose these changes. We live in a world where folks are constantly trying to steal your account info.

Photo? You cannot separately password protect a photo.
You can password protect your iPhone at Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode

How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes or other apps are playing? They should work/play on, screen should still be on, only keyboard is (maybe Password-) locked.

You will need to restart Pages but should then see it next to your Menu item.

I have 10 films in iTunes and only 8 are displayed on my iPhone.

Sync the other two the same way you synced the first 8.
Select them in iTunes and sync.

How can I use T-bird without entering a password every time?

I just downloaded T-bird. It asks for a password each time I open the program. I tried to set up a master password so it would automatically enter the account password, but now it just prompts for the master password. How can I get the program to remember my password so I don't have to enter it? This is a home PC that no one else uses.

The master password is to protect access to any stored email account passwords. As you found out this has nothing to do with what you are trying to accomplish.
When the email password dialog box appears fill in your email password and check the box for Thunderbird to remember the password.

Hi Peter,
have you checked if the fm can be called remotely? Not every FM can be object of a RFC...
And also: if you call a FM without the DESTINATION parameter, it means you're calling a local FM... Otherwise, if you call the fm with the DESTINATION option, you're going to execute a function that's not on the system you're working on. Are you sure the FM exists on the logical sys you specify in the destination option? And also, check about user's permission when going on a RFC call... Maybe the user you are logged with hasn't permissions to execute a RFC on the DESTINATION logsys.

How can i make my iMac stop asking for passwords?

How on earth can I make my iMac quit asking me for passwords? I've tried a few attempts at resetting Keychain passwords. Nothing I do seems to change any behaviors. I'm also complete noob to Mac so go easy with the jargon. I've even had a session an apple support person and fixed it temporarily.
my imac is current with OS X 10.9.2

How can I change the settings on entering a password every time something is bought

The problem is I put the password in once and get an app for my son and it is unlocked for a number of minutes I wants it to b locked rite away! Cause he is purchasing things while it is unlocked. Is there any way to have this changed to promp with password every time something is downloaded in the future?

You can't change the time, which is 15 minutes, after which you don't have to re-enter your password, but I think that signing out of your account when you've downloaded what you want will work : Settings > Store > Sign Out . Or just wait 15 minutes before handing the phone over.

How can i sync music not purchased from itunes from my iphone to itunes library on my pc?

Hi
I have quite a lot of music on my phone that I've ripped from cds that I have. How can I get these to sync into my itunes library on my pc? I want to upgrade to the new os but will lose a lot of my music if i do.
Any help appreciated
Nachan

If after researching the info in the other comments you still find that there is music that you would loose on the iPhone, there are 3rd party apps that can manage iPhone content without erasing the iPhone. Just search for a Windows alternative to iTunes.
This one is popular for both Mac & PC;
