Pray tell me: What use is an e-mail address if it is not public as in known to
the sender.

You are the first commenter to notice the proper solution

Maybe it wasn't so obvious. There have been a whole slew of comments here
talking about how to encrypt the email addresses, and other comments replying
from people clued in enough to recognize that there is no sensible way to
encrypt the email addresses when AT&T's purpose was to have the user see the
form with the email address already filled in.

But you have realized that if all AT&T was after was not requiring the user
to type the email address because AT&T already knew the email address, they
did not have to have the form send an email field to AT&T at all. Maybe use
some variation of

"Enter password for the account registered with this ipad ____

Want to sign in with a different account? Enter email address and password here
___________ ___________"
