Re: Turning Off Find My iPhone in iOS 8.1.2
I believe that is a bug. You will want to report that to Apple accessibility.

The input box and the keyboard popped right up yet the keyboard was dead for inputting any password characters.

RE: Turning Off Find My iPhone in iOS 8.1.2
I don’t know if it is a bug as Scott said and I can’t remember if it was instant in iOS 7, but yes, this is very slow and sluggish for me as well. If I have to do this I just tap it and let it sit until it’s ready without tapping around.

RE: Turning Off Find My iPhone in iOS 8.1.2
Find my iPhone would be hardly a good security feature if anybody who stole your phone could restore it to factory settigs hence wiping out any passcode/fingerprint security and so on. Therefore Apple makes it a requirement that before you can do a restore you have to properly turn off Find my iPhone by entering your passcode. If this wasn’t so it would be a little bit like putting a lock on your house but one which opens with any key.
