Why does Outlook keep asking for my password

Although I have my password saved in my Outlook account, it still keep asking me for it, is there an easy way around this

Did you use the two-step authentication for Outlook? Is this a separate app from the native iOS mail app?

    Why does it keep asking for my password when i open the APP STORE ? Theres no updates and i aint downloading anything. Any help ? Thanks.

    It shouldn't really ask you anything. One way to possibly forestall this from happening again would be to register and enter your own ID and password. The system won't ask you for anything else, since it has all the user info it needs.
    When is it asking you questions? When the App Store opens? When you click on hyperlinks to documents?

  • Why does iClod keep asking for my password?

    Why does iCloud keep asking for a password? I don't remember asking for this and if I try to turn it off it threatens to delete my calendars off my mac but keep them on some else's server!

    Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sing back in (your data will download back to your Mac).  See if that stops the prompts for the password.

  • Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

  • Why does icloud keep asking for my password since installing iOS 8?

    I installed iOS 8 on my iPhone 5S last night and now everytime I unlock my phone I am prompted for the iCloud password.
    I tried to turn off icloud but it says it will erase all my photos.

    Same here too (I have an iPhone5). There are a few more threads about this btw.

  • Why does FaceTime keep asking for the password for my email account?

    Is it secure to provide the password for my email address to FaceTime?

    Usually when that happens it is a problem on the mail provider's end.
    In time they will catch it and it will end. Until then, there's nothing you can do on your end.

  • Why does it keep asking for my password when im in my email

    Check you Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your_account > Account > Incoming Mail Server > password and Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP > Primary Server > password & Authentication> Password
    If no joy, delete the whole e-mail account and start again.

  • Why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    Hey there mcsafranek,
    It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Why does Outlook keep prompting for password

    We have seen our community members ask questions about Outlook keeps prompting for credentials many times. This issue could be caused by numerous reasons. Below is a list of the most common reasons for this problem:
    Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
    Incorrect password cached in credential storage
    Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
    Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
    Corrupt Outlook profile
    Slow or unstable network connection
    Antivirus programs
    Shared calendars
    Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
    If you are using an Exchange account, there is a setting in your Outlook profile to always prompt for logon credentials. To find the setting, please follow:
    1. In Outlook 213, go to File tab > Info >
    Account Settings > Account Settings…
    2. Highlight your Exchange account and click Change button.
    3. Click on More Settings button.
    4. Select the Security tab.
    5. Under the User Identification, make sure the “Always prompt for logon credentials” option is not selected.
    If you are using other types of email, please make sure you have ticked the option “Remember password”.
    Incorrect credential cached in Credential Manager
    Your Windows system stores user credentials on your computer. If the cached credentials are incorrect, you will be prompted for password. This issue usually happens after the password for your domain user account is changed. Before your password changed,
    you saved your credentials. The stored credentials are not overwritten when Outlook triggers the authentication prompt even if you enable the Remember my credentials option.
    To fix this issue, you need to remove the corrupted credentials, follow these steps:
    Click Start,      click Control Panel, and then click Credential Manager.
     Note If View by is set to Category, click User Accounts first, and then click Credential Manager.
    Locate  the set of credentials that has Outlook in the name.
    Click the name to expand the set of credentials, and then click Remove from Vault.
    Repeat step 3 for any additional sets of credentials that have the word Outlook in the name.
    Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
    Different email provider may need different authentication settings. Please make sure you have set the server settings correctly. You can contact your email provider to gather the information.
    In general, we select the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” option and the first bullet “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
    In addition, click on the Advanced tab and check if you have enter the correct Server Port Number and select the correct encrypt type. Below is a screenshot for an IMAP account:
    Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
    The Outlook Anywhere feature allows you to access your Exchange account remotely from the Internet when you are working outside your organization's firewall.
    When using Outlook Anywhere to connect to your Exchange server, we need to choose
    the authentication method among Basic Authentication, NTLM Authentication and Negotiate Authentication. The difference among them is the way that the passwords are sent when connecting to the server. With Basic Authentication,
    the password is sent in clear text. Using NTLM Authenticationcan significantly reduce the number of password prompts.
    To check the authentication setting, please go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings,
    select the Exchange account, and then click
    Change. In the Change Account wizard, click
    More Settings, and then click the Connection tab. Click the Exchange Proxy Settings button and now, you can see the settings under
    Proxy authentication settings. Try to change the authentication to
    NTLM Authentication and then check the issue again.
    Slow or unstable network connection
    If your network connection is slow or unstable, Outlook may lose connection to the mail server. When Outlook try to reconnect, it will prompt for the credentials. To verify this, please switch to a stable network environment and then check if this issue
    persists.
    Corrupt Outlook Profile
    Corrupt profile may cause Outlook to no longer remember your password. Please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email account in the new profile to fix the issue. To create a new mail profile, you can refer:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
    Antivirus software
    Antivirus software usually integrates into your Outlook and it may cause some conflicts. Try to temporarily turn off your antivirus software to check if the issue will be gone.
    Shared Calendar
    Shared calendars can impact the user credentials, this issue may also occur if you have shared calendars opened in Outlook. You can try to unselect the shared calendar to check the result. It’s recommended to not open the shared calendar unless you want
    to view them.

    Nope...
    I went through point by point by point, top to bottom, checking and verifying every single item as a possible cause for why my system (Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 and connecting to Exchange 2010) insists on prompting me for my password every single
    time I start Outlook.  None of the solutions worked, my system still prompts me.  I don't even have to supply a password.  When the prompt dialog appears, I just cancel it.  Within a few seconds, the bottom Outlook status bar changes to
    "Need Password" with a key icon to the left.  Then I just click on that message and immediately Outlook connects to Exchange.
    The freaking software is BROKEN!  Period.

  • Why does iOS repeatedly ask for my password when submitting an App Store review?

    I tap Write a Review, it asks for my password.
    I write my review and submit, it asks for my password. And again. And again. And again.
    Once before, and four times in a row to submit it. Why?
    My passwords are generated for me, and I change them regularly, so sometimes I get them wrong while typing them in. If I've taken the time to go write a review and then I get my password wrong one of the four times I'm asked for it, I just get an error saying my password was incorrect and the whole review I've written ust disappears and I'm back on the app overview; I have to go write it all over again and then go through the gauntlet of repeated password entry once again...
    This has been happening on iOS 6, and still on iOS 7. (This is the App Store app in iOS on an iPhone, just to be clear; not the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store on OS X. I haven't tried either of those, so I may or may not have the same problem there.)

    Entered incorrectly?
    Can go to Appleid.Apple.com and select Manage Apple ID - try to sign in, if you are unable to then what is being entered is incorrect.
    Reset Password is the next option.
    If you are able to sign in then first on your Computer in iTunes go to Store and Select Sign Out - Then Sign back in.
    iOS device - Settings - iTunes & App Store - View Apple ID - Sign out / Sign in
    That should work for you - however when downloading/purchasing Apps you will most always be prompted to sign in.
    And to the comment
    [Yesterday I had problems on my desktop but the laptop worked fine.]
    Something was being entered incorrectly, passwords do not effect OS's.
    Hope the information with Appleid.apple.com helps you out.
    If still having trouble no worries contact AppleCare Account Security via Expresslane.apple.com
    Just be ready to answer your security questions correctly.

  • Why does my Mac ask for my password when I try to make a change on my external hard drive with Time Machine?

    I recently formatted the hard drive to do a fresh install of Mavericks on my Macbook Pro Retina. I then formatted my Western Digital 2 TB External Hard Drive for Time Machine. I then began storing others files and folders on the external hard drive along side the TIme Machine Backup folder. Everytime I added a folder or changed a foler name it asked for my password.
    This has never happened to me before using any other OSX.
    I apologize if this has been resolved before, I'm new to the communities and have yet to find a solution.

    It is not a good idea to be storing other Stuff on your Time Machine drive. You may need an additional separate hard drive for those things.
    Once you tell Time Machine to use a Drive, Time Machine owns the Drive. You (as a User) do not have permission to put things there. If you insist, it will do it, but wants your Admin password to do it.
