thanks in advance.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a shortcut key for your itunes password ( and others ) either through normal means or cydia.

I find myself entering passwords alot on the phone and a shortcut would be a lot of help ..

for instance on the app store instead of entering an 8 digit combo of capital letters, letters, and numbers .. I would have a phrase (ie: azaz) that would autopopulate like the other shortcuts do ...

I understand there could be a compromise in security but I do not need a intricate password for my phone .. something simpler would be a nice option

In cydia there is a tweak called Password Pilot. In settings you go to the password pilot pane, put in your password and then when you are in the AppStore it automatically inserts your password for you so all you have to do is press OK.

Normally I don't try and bypass security but IMO in the AppStore, while I'm on my phone I'd rather not be bothered with constantly putting in my password, especially to download free things.

How is me posting this somewhere else going to help people find threads?

I am asking if this is possible w ios5 and if not is it in Cydia so really this could go in a few different forums... Calm down
