It is only showing dots in settings. How do I find out what it is?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8
OK, now it is clear to me. When I sign into the app store, I use and have memorized my apple password, but it is 12 digits long. On my iPhone they only show 8 dots, and that is what confused me into thinking there was a separate password. Thanks Zikzak for clearing that up for me.
The whole point of Apple Pay is that it doesn't require any password or verification. It's just tap and go. What Ethan meant is that if you make any purchases in the App Store, it will usually require your Apple ID password. And if you ever need to sign into your Apple ID on this phone or a replacement phone, you'll need the password.
Use the instructions on the pages below to recover your Apple ID and password.

Thanks for your reply. I guess for security purposes there is no way to retrieve my current password. Exactly what do I need this 8 digit password for?
You should remember all the passwords you create.

Any purchases you make will require it.
Unfortunately my memory is not very good as I get older.
I just made an apple pay charge this morning for a hotel booking and they didn't ask for my 8 digit password.
We have company iPhones and I tell my users that their Apple ID password is one they should definitely memorize.
I can't remember my 8 digit Apple ID password
