App store not asking for password, security breach

Earlier today, I was using the app Words with Friends by Zynga, and it crashed. Although I am not able to get the app working again even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app (developer issue) I have noticed that since this app crashed my App Store on my iPhone 4S is not asking me for my Apple password anymore. I have even restarted my iPhone and reset it by holding down the home button and power button until my iPhone restarts. Has this happened to anyone before? I feel like this is a security breach as my App Store is no longer requesting my password for downloading apps.

iTunes is currently having problems in reference to the apps. If you have icloud, then toggle contacts off/on. If not then restore from itune backup

  • I changed my apple id, but in apps store when asked for password,  original apple id appears so password doesn't work wit it.  Now can't buy apps.

    I changed my apple id, but now in apps store when asked for password, it listed my original apple id which password will not work.  How to get apps store to recognize changed apple id?

    f you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • HT1918 App store is asking for the security code of my card, when I write it down and press ok, it still does not accept it.

    For some reasone app store is not accepting my card, it is asking for a security key, once I write the security key it is still rejecting the card

    Often there is another billing issue you can not see from your end that causes this.

  • Wrong email address on app store when asking for password

    Hi.
    I have the Iphone4 and today I was offered 4 updates for my apps. 3 downloaded but the Paypal update didn't. I then tried to update the Paypal app and the Iphone asked me to put my password in. I entered it but it said the password was wrong. I then noticed that the email address that was displayed wasn't mine, it was my house mate's.
    When I go into settings and look at the app store settings I am logged in as me. I tried logging out and back in again but it still does it. If I download another app it just does it without asking for a password so I can't see if it's just Paypal.
    Can anyone help me please? I'm really confused.
    Thanks

    Hi.
    I just worked it out then came on here to update to say I no longer need help and you're right.
    Basically he had the paypal app on his phone and backed them up on the pc. Then he synced my phone for me and accidentally put paypal on which was obviously his app.
    Thanks for your help anyway.

  • ITunes and App Store keep asking for password.

    If I log into the Mac App Store or iTunes to purchase an app/song I get prompted for a username and password, as expected; but then it just keeps asking. If I type in a purposly wrong password it will tell me it's wrong, but when I put in the correct one it seems to take it but the dialog just pops up again. This occurs on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and my MacPro. This also happens if I try to 'view account'. Every now and again I will break through this loop and see my account details, but if I try to change something, say my purchase methode, I get 'session timed out'. 
    I can log into the website just fine, I know the password is good.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having a similar problem. When I open iTunes I kept getting a "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the Itunes Store at this time. Please try again later." error message. I also couldn't update my apps. I was able to stop the messages by signing out. Unfortuantely, I can't sign in now. I don't get an incorrect password message, though. Instead I get the same error message.
    I then I tried updating my apps on my iPod Touch but then I get a "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" error message.
    So, like you I think the problem is on their end. Hopefully, it's just a temporary glitch. I'm going to go my favorite coffee shop and see if I can download there.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

    Have you tried turning your phone completely off and then back on?  After trying that you might want to Reset your phone by depressing the Sleep Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 15 Seconds.  Then try your App Download again.  If those efforts don't work there are additional threads about various App Download issues you will want to review.

  • App store still asks for a verification

    If you dont have any other devices which you use your Apple-ID with (like an iPad, iPod, Mac etc) this will solve your issue (I've been there too):
    If you have iOS 6:
    1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store by taping the email adress at the top and choose Sign out.
    2) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
    3) Sign back in again with your new email adress.
    If you have iOS 7:
    1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    2) Change your email adress back to the old email adress on your Apple-ID
    3) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
    4) Change your email for you Apple ID back to the new email adress you want to have.
    5) Sign back in from Settings > iCloud.
    If you're promted for password to your old Apple ID when you update apps you need to follow the steps above and then restart your iPhone.
    If the steps in this article is followed when chagning Apple ID this issue can be avoided Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID.

    Try downloading something in the iTunes app on the iPad and see if that gets you out of the password loop that you are stuck in.

    The app must have been purchased using your friends account.  This means that the app belongs to your friend.
    You need to buy your own copy.

  • Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

    Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

    If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

  • ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

    Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

    I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:

    I should note that my problem was on Mac.
