I haven't noticed those problems you're talking about with passwords on
my iPhone. I also have a Nexis 7 running Android, and I very seldom have
to enter a password since it grabs my identity from my Google account. I
think your Samsung line of smart phones will give you your best and most
iPhone like accessibility experience, but the Nexis devices are also
good. Android phones are a bit different though and have their own set
of accessibility issues. I'm not saying one platform is better than the
other, but you will be trading in one set of frustrations for another.
