Not too long ago when you purchased an app off the appstore apple graced you with 15 minutes where you did not have to enter your passcode if you were buying other apps, however with apple tightening up their security it has now become a requirement every time you purchase an app.
Security is nessiccary and welcome, however if you do go on an app spending spree it can be quite annoying having to enter your password everytime. It is for this reason PasswordPilot was developed. PasswordPilot is a simple app thats sole functionality is to fill the password field with your password. Once downloaded the user must navigate to the settings app and then to PasswordPilot where the user enters their password. Once the password is entered it is stored and when you purchase an app from the appstore, the password will be stored in the field.
As usefull as this is, it does mean that your password will always be there so if your phone was stolen then the thief would be free to purchase any app they want. I would reccommend this app as it is a clever example of what developers in the community can do.
