this is perfect, the password field could be disabled until the home button is pressed >> "press the home button to enter the password"

I think this is the best solution so far!

Perhaps when you put your finger on the home button it would read your fingerprint and authenticate you like that and the user wouldn't have to enter their password into a box that might steal it..

I can spend thousands using just my fingerprint, but authorising my Apple ID so I can buy a 99p app or login into iMessage requires my Apple ID password...

It's already like that - I assume the phishing only works for people that don't use fingerprint, or don't notice the difference.

Good luck doing it on iphone x.

crap, maybe power button then?

This would work. Sleep/wake is already used for Apple Pay on iPhone X.
