Apple Watch Keeps Saying Sign In To Complete Purchase

That Pesky "Sign In To Complete Purchase" on Your Apple Watch
Is it just me, or does your Apple Watch sometimes feel like a needy houseplant? It constantly wants something. Usually, it's your attention... and your Apple ID password.
Specifically, it throws this little fit: "Sign In To Complete Purchase." Like, I'm trying to buy a virtual sticker, watch! Ease up.
The Sticker Situation
Okay, maybe it's not always stickers. Sometimes it's an app. Or a new watch face. But the drama is ALWAYS the same: that persistent "Sign In" prompt.
Must Read
And let's be honest, half the time I don't even remember why I was trying to buy something in the first place. Squirrel!
My Unpopular Opinion? It's a Bit Much.
Hear me out. I appreciate security. Really, I do. But this feels like overkill. My phone is already locked down tighter than Fort Knox.
Does my watch really need another layer of authentication for a 99-cent ringtone? Maybe I'm being dramatic. Probably.

"Give me liberty, or give me... the ability to buy a workout playlist without entering my password every five seconds!" - Probably Patrick Henry, if he had an Apple Watch.
The Password Predicament
Let's talk passwords. I have too many. You have too many. We all have too many. And remembering which one goes with which Apple service? Forget about it.
I'm convinced my Apple ID password has evolved into some kind of eldritch incantation. It probably requires a blood sacrifice at this point.

So, I end up tapping "Forgot Password" more often than I actually complete the purchase. Then comes the email. Then the verification code. Then... I just give up.
The Frustration Factor
I'm supposed to be relaxing during my coffee break. Instead, I'm wrestling with my wrist computer like it's trying to escape.
It's a first-world problem, I know. But it's my first-world problem.

Is It Just Me?
Am I alone in this? Or are there others out there silently battling the "Sign In To Complete Purchase" beast?
Let me know in the comments! Or, you know, don't. I'll probably just be too busy trying to remember my Apple ID password.
Maybe there's a setting I'm missing. Some magical toggle switch that says, "Trust this person! They own the darn watch!"

A Plea to Apple
Dear Apple, please. I love my Apple Watch. I really do. But could we maybe dial back the security a teeny tiny bit? Just for virtual stickers?
Think of the time you'd save us. Think of the productivity! Think of all the virtual stickers we could buy!
And while you're at it, maybe throw in a password manager that actually works. Just a thought.
