A pop-up window on a screen prompts the user to "Enter the password for the Exchange account." The email address is partially obscured. Below the message are two buttons: "Edit Settings" and "Cancel."

I don’t like this dialog. It always pops up when I’m doing something else and is removing my focus. And I love it when I’m in the mail app on iOS (writing an email) and the app decides now is the moment to push a modal dialog into my face.

@V_ and the obvious action would be to just enter the password and be done with it. But I don't want to now (its a work account and I'm on holiday). A remind me next week button would be nice.
