HT5622 Why I'm I being asked to change my password

Why do I keep being asked to change my password?

Hi Again cor-el,
I now understand the reason behind the green lock icon, it is for a extra level of security with sensitive sites, which this particular site is.<br />
Having said that, if I follow the instructions, and "temporarily remove autocomplete=off", when I load the site in the future, is the situation going to be: when I load the site it will automatically have already loaded my user and password, so I don't have to do that function? If so, I really don't want that to happen. <br />
With my old computer, when I clicked the bookmark for the site, and entered the site, I just had to click on my user name and firefox entered my user and password. Evidently, firefox remembered those parameters for that site, and all was well. Definitely made that procedure easier. <br />
By doing the procedure in autocomplete=off, will this happen? Or, will the situation be, when I click on the bookmark and load the site, both my user and password will be automatically entered? If that were to occur, I would be giving up too much security for that site. <br />
I just would like my new computer and firefox, to enter that web site (scottrade) like it did before, where all I had to do was click on my user and enter the first character of my user and firefox filled in the of my user and password. Thank you, cor-el.

Why am I constantly being asked to enter my password?

All of a sudden I am being asked to enter my password every few hours. Various applications are asking for it ... Safar, iCloud something or other, calendar agent ... it's getting really annoying and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to STOP IT.
It began after I setup my new iMac and transferred all my info from my "old" iMac. the old one is still being used and IT'S doing it now as well.
help!

Hi DarleenMB,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might try using Keychain First Aid to detect and repair any issues with your keychain that may be causing this (this article applies to most versions of the OS including Mavericks):

If the issue persists I would try resetting your Keychain using Keychain Access as described here:

Hi dwhitnackphilly,
The ExportPDF subscription isn't included in a Creative Cloud membership. However, if you have Acrobat as part of your subscription, you can use it to save directly to Word format (as well as a host of other formats). In Acrobat, just choose Save as Other...

Why am i being asked to enter icloud password on ipad a lot?

i changed my icloud password recently and now am regularly being asked to enter my password when on my ipad. Did i miss a setting?

Hi JOfromON,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you have recently changed your Apple ID password, and since then have been getting repeatedly prompted to enter in your password on the iPad. I'd like you to first sign out of iCloud, and then sign back in with your new information.
On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
Cheers,

I'm being asked to type my password in constantly for everything I do?

Hello,
I created a new user account when I registered my computer and it is called Tuley, my old user account which I migrated over from my other Mac is called Pink Tuley. So I set the option to log into 3 accounts (two from my old machine and the new user one I created on my new iMac). So my main account from my old machine which I want to use is Pink Tuley so I logged into that one and now no matter what I do the plugsuit app keeps asking for my password on this account. So the account I'm logged into now is called Pink Tuley and let's say the password is apple. The new user account I created called Tuley (let's say the password for that is orange). I have to keep type apple as the password for everything I do.
When the plugsuit app asks for my password I clicked the question mark and saw a topic called changing your keychain password. Is that what I want to do? I just want to stop being asked to type my password in all the time.
Here is a photo of me trying to open the UnRarX app but it happens no matter what I do:

Hi, I use both TM & SuperDuper (2 different EHD's) I copy from SuperDuper (updated daily)(My Home Folder)
iTunes you can enable sharing between computers and transfer that way..Photos from iPhoto Library..dragNdrop
I use my Network, not as fast as FW..but easier on the mind""" I have 4 macs running and my daughter has her macmini..All share via our home network..
When I unpack my mac, I just set up with my email & Apple passwords..After that I repair Permissions then go about transferring. I do though usually run the mac for 24hours before I transfer or add anything..Thankfully I have never had any issues with my Macs, the only problems have been a HD on my 17"intel C2D & the replacement of my 2 laptops (video card issues)
Hope this info helps & your Mac is up & running soon....
ps. don't forget to Authorize the computers..L

To update my application, I am being asked to change to apple Nigeria Store. How do I do this? I am using IPad 2

I am using Ipad2. To update my applications, I am being asked to change to apple Nigeria Store, though I have updated severally for months before this time. How do I do this?

Change App Store
1. Tap "Settings"
2. Tap "iTunes & App Stores"
3.Tap "View Apple ID"
4. Enter your user name and password.
5. Tap "Country/Region."
6. Tap "Change Country/Region"
7. Select the region where you are located.
8. Tap "Done".

Why can't I login into my Apple account without being forced to change my password.

I received an email from Apple:
"The following changes to your Apple ID (xxxxxxxxxxxx) were made on 01 January 2015 at 17:52:54 (GMT):
Shipping and/or billing address.
When I log on to check my Shipping and Billing address I am prompted to change my password, which I do NOT want to do.
I cannot go any further than the forced password change screen.
How do I check my account details without changing my password?
I am not happy with being forced to change my password. it almost makes me wonder if I have been redirected to a 'scam' site.

How are you trying to log into your account ? You can log into an account :
- via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
- Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes
- tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device
All three let you view and/or change your billing address, though only the last you let you view payment details. You could try one of the other methods and see if they let you login without requesting a password change.
This page lists the current requirements for passwords : Security and your Apple ID.
If you want to check your account's purchase history then you can do so via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

Since my change, i can not connect anymore (ICloud) or buy anything on ITunes.

I've got this message : Le serveur n’a pas reconnu votre nom d’utilisateur ou votre mot de passe pour le compte « iCloud ». Assurez-vous de les avoir correctement saisis.
IN ENGLISH : The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "iCloud". Make sure you have correctly entered.
It works for ITunes and gets stuck with iCal.

I am going crazy changing passwords that do not get recognized by the different services when it is time to use them, until I am asked to change the password again, starting the vicious cycle again: i need to use the password, it does not get recognized three times, then the system asks me to change it again, and again, and I am stuck!! Is there any fix for this "glitch?

The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

Why does my old iMac ask for the Admin password when deleting apps?

I just bought a new 2013 iMac. I'm giving the old 2009 iMac to a friend. I installed the old OS onto it, then I updated it to Mavericks. I saw there were some programs still on it that I used to have so I went to delete them. Every time I moved the app into the trash it asked me for a password (I registered the 2009 iMac under my friend's id.) Why is it doing this?

I'm giving the old 2009 iMac to a friend.
You need to wipe your iMac securely so that none of your personal stuff remains on the system. Your friend then can update & upgrade as they see fit. Your friend should also set up a new Apple ID & password for security reasons.
Clicky click--—> Erasing disks securely
================
Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

I'm being asked for apple id password to an email address I have not created or linked to my account...

When I try to download apps or update apps on my iphone I'm being asked for a password to an apple id (email address) that I have not created or linked to my account. I've tried re-setting my apple id - but same message keeps appearing - so can not access itunes app store or update apps I've already downloaded.
Has any one else experienced this? Or any ideas how to remove this email address?

Can't create a folder without being asked for a login password.

I'm running 10.9.5 on an iMac. When I try to create a folder I'm asked for my login password. When I try to move a file into the folder I'm asked again for my login password. This is very annoying. My other Mac running 10.4.8 doesn't do this.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.
