After iOS 8 update, iCloud constantly asks for password

Hello, after I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 and iPad air I am constantly having the window pop up on both devices asking me to enter my password for iCloud. I've had to unlock the account twice now. Could this be due to activating family sharing with my wife? Or is someone trying to hack into my account and keeps messing up the password? Has anyone else experienced this sort of issue? Thanks!

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iDevice and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud).  Then sign back in (your data will download back to your device).  See if that stops the prompts for your password.

  • (iOS 7) iCloud keeps asking for password when performing a backup

    Hi everyone
    since upgrading my iPad and iPhone to iOS 7, everytime the daily backup to iCloud is about to start, the password popup kicks in and I'm prompted to type it in .
    I've tried already to sign out and sign in again but still this problem is affecting me. Both iPhone and iPad share the same account
    Thank for you help

    i have htis as well. 4s ios7.
    i noticed it started after i begain playing clash of clans which is a memory intense game.
    icloud will ask for pwd at night which is when i plug in.
    it seems to still run backups as it ran last night.
    however twice now when I have it plugged in during the day and enter my icloud password i'll lose all my contacts. have to power off/power on and they eventually sync back.
    really annoying.
    i'll try quitting high mem apps before plugging in.. maybe that will help

  • Ipod constantly asking for password

    Ipod 5th gen. constantly asks for password for Apple ID, even after entering it numerous times.  It Will not allow me to access anything, settings, wifi, apps, etc. I tried resetting it - didn't help.  I can't even get into settings to erase it.  I just purchased it in December 2013 ... can it be fixed?

    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Exactly which password are you inputting? iCloud looks for your AppleID password.

  • Satellite A110-195 after update of bios ask for password

    After i update the bios that i download form the toshiba website for the laptop and update if from the windows he ask for the reboot. After reboot notebook start asking for password for bios and system password too. now i cant get to the system.
    I try default passwords like Toshiba,BIOS, CMOS, phoenix, and PHOENIX. and didn't work. CMOS battery in a110-195 is soderd on motherboard. Is there any jumpers that i need to bypass to clear cmos.

    Hi
    Thats strange buddy.
    Why should BIOS set a password automatically after the update???
    Anyway. As far as I know the BIOS password can be removed only by an ASP technician only these guys know how to remove the BIOS password
    I think the ASP is your last chance to get the BIPS password removed from the system

  • Iphone won't download from itunes (purchases or updates) and keeps asking for password

  • HT204085 Is anyone having problems with iCloud continually asking for passwords for different items in iCloud?

    My iMac asks for password to use calendar agent, iMessage, Calendar agent, etc., about every 15 minutes.  Is there a cure to stop this? I have tried many things and nothing has worked.

    Its ok....sorted!!!

  • Constantly asking for password in iTunes

    Not exactly sure when it happened, I believe with the update to iTunes 11 - but am not sure, I am now being asked to enter my password every time I turn around to do much of anything in iTunes.  I'm asked sometimes as many as 3-4 times in a row (as if it were for different processes).  I know I'm not mistakenly entering the password (thought I was at first), as I've used the paste command to paste my password in every time it asks, so I know it's consistently entered.
    I use Home Sharing, so iTunes is always running on my iMac.  Every time I want to check for new IOS apps (about every other day, sometimes every day), I am asked for my password.
    Behavior prior to this (iTunes 10), was to ask when iTunes started, and then it remembered the password.  I've searched here, and tried many of the suggestions - and they don't work (deauthorizing the computer, reauthorizing it, etc.)
    I understand security - but this is getting ridiculous.  This morning, I had to enter my password to start iTunes (I rebooted), plugged my wife's iPhone in, found there is the 6.1.2 update for her phone, had to enter my password again, searched for new IOS apps for iPad/iPhone/etc. and had to enter my password a third time.  All of this within the span of 4 minutes or so.  Security is one thing - this is downright annoying (and that's the "public" consumption phrase - not what I'd really like to say).

    I'll just add - went to iTunes to "buy" a free app.  Within 15 minutes after going through the above rigarmarole, and it's still downloading my iPhone update, and the updated apps are still queued.  I was asked AGAIN for my iTunes password.  That's 4 times within 18 minutes or so. 
    Since each time was a different "area" of code (startup, download iPhone update, download app updates, purchase new app), I'm suspecting that there's something broke in iTunes, or screwed up in my Keychain and it keeps asking for a password each time I go into that "section" of code.
    However, I can guarandamtee that if I check for updates within 20 minutes or so - I'll be asked for my password yet again.  Just thought I'd check to see if it would now - I've got my download window open, won't open the main window at all.  I'm going to have to exit the app and start AGAIN to get my main window back up again.  But I won't do that until my downloads are complete.

  • ICloud always asks for password following email change?

    I recently changed my apple email.
    But the iCloud on my macbook pro (2009; running Mavericks) will not recognize the new email as being the one for iCloud.
    It continuously interrupts what I'm doing and asks for my password.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this?
    Cheers.
    Taz

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Mail constantly asking for passwords

    I know this has come up lots of times but nothing I try fixes the issue. Mac Mail constantly asks me for passwords.
    Hotmail is the worst for some reason.  I have fixed keychain, removed password from keychain, changed password, removed account and added again and still it goes on and on, several times an hour!
    I have exhausted all advice i found on here and i can't think of anything else to try. it is most frustrating. has anyone found a new fix for this issue?
    also, i have no idea where to post this as nothing comes up when searching for mail or email !

    You may want to ask in the forum for the MacOS X version you are using. Mail is part of MacOS X.  So ask in the Yosemite forum, Mavericks forum, etc.
    Have you read the Help page in Mail  "If Mail keeps asking for your password"?  It may be a problem with your key chain, or a problem with your mail account on the provider's site.
    If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these suggestions.
    In Keychain Access, locate and delete the email account password item.Open Keychain Access for me
    In Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message. Open Disk Utility for me

  • Mail (gmail account) constantly asking for password

    Hello,
    My wife has a 3gs
    She originally setup her mail using the phones built in gmail account step by step method. While using this, her phone was constantly saying it could not access the gmail server.
    So, I setup her mail with gmail using the google sync/Exchange method.
    Now it is constantly asking her for her gmail password. When you enter the password, nothing happens and it asks again. The problem seems to be intermittent.
    I have a 3g iphone setup the exact same way, and I have never had either of these problems.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Here's the deal, because of spammers, especially automated computer spammers google uses what is called a captcha lock to block smtp for your account until you prove you're human, and the account owner, and not some computer spammer. The lock can be triggered by the mere fact of setting up your gmail account on a mobile device, like the iphone. Computers, generally, can't read the captcha code, only a human can read it & enter the code correctly. Same reason that when using wifi, other than when at home or at your place of business you may find you can receive email, but can't send. Most wifi providers block all smtp in an effort to stop spammers. Sad, but you can blame spammers for this.

  • After successfull kinit ssh still asks for password for kerberizes services

    Hi,
    I've just migrated from 10.4 for 10.5 and I'm seeing this problem that after kinit when I use ssh to any kerberized service it still asks me for password and doesn't automagically log me in as it used to on 10.4
    I can see the ticket in cache using klist.
    I've the same krb5.conf and ~/.ssh/config which work on 10.4.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Hi
    How many tickets do you see if you issue:
    klist
    What you should see is an entry for the TGT and then an entry for each service principal accessed thtereafter (SGTs). In 10.5 service tickets will be prefixed with the name of the service. This was not the case in 10.4.

  • Mail constantly asks for password

    I have 3 email accounts setup in Mail. 1 is a POP email. The other 2 are IMAP.
    For some strange reason from the moment I open Mail, 1 of the IMAPs prompts me for my password. I enter it. Emmediately, it asks for my password again, and then the prompt disappears and re-appears every 30-60 seconds.
    I tried deleting this account & re-adding it, but I keep getting this same result. I checked that both IMAP accounts have the exact same settings (they are both "@rogers.com" accounts). I made sure that my accounts are all set to check for new mail every 15 minutes.
    Open Mail, password prompt. Enter password, password promt. It goes away for 30-60 seconds, password prompt. This is getting annoying.
    I can log in to that mail account via web, but it's so much easier using Mail for all of them together at once.
    Anyone else encounter this issue?
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    X

    This happens to me too (every two months over the past year). And many other readers as I can see.
    It has nothing with the operator as I am using an IMAP account in Austria.
    I have not been able to find a clear solution to this proplem in the many threads that are out there:
    - Verify and repar keychains -> does not solve it
    - Delete passwords from keychain -> does not solve it
    - Entering the password in the mail dialogue box and NOT selecting the box to save the pwd in the keychain does not give access to the mail account either.
    Have you been able to find a solution?
