Apple ID pops up asking for password all the time

Apple ID pops up asking for password all the time which I type in, I know correclty, however a screen afterwards pops up saying 'password incorrect'. I've had to change my password continuously as whenever I try to sign in through the Apple website it too tells me my password is incorrect. I'm worried that my Apple ID is being hacked or there is some glitch or virus occuring. What should I do? Also lately there has been a similar occurence with Game Center, whereby it will pop up in a few of mu games every 2-5 minutes, I don't use Game Centre but my sister does. I disable Game centre, but after 2 or so minute it will pop up again, not sure if this is happening due to the password issue. Does anyone have any ideas of what it happening or how I could fix the issue. (this is through my Ipod touch iOS 6.1.3)

I'm not entirely sure from your description exactly what is going on. However, if you are being asked for the password for your Apple ID (be sure it's the right one) and the password that should work is being rejected, one strong possibility is that someone has hacked your Apple ID. They may do this in order to purchase apps, music, movies, etc, on your credit, which can then be used (though not updated) even after you change your password. Check your purchase history for any unusual purchases. Change your password (which may require a call to Apple if you no longer know the current password) and consider enabling two-factor authentication to protect against any future unauthorized changes to your Apple ID.

  • AOL asking for password all the time

    Hi,
    Everytime I log onto iChat with my .mac account (the only one set up on my compter) I have to enter my password to allow me to connect to AOL AIM. I have tried saving the password in my keychain but it still keeps on coming up. My password is less than 16 characters, as I heard that was a problem with AOL. Does anyone have any way of getting rid of this?
    Thanks

    HI Susan,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages
    If you go to iChat > Preferences > Account and click on the Account and then look at the Account info on the right is the password dots there ?
    IF you log that account out of AIM and re-enter the password does it stick ?
    You may have to delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist
    This file is in Users/(your acount)/Library/Preferences.
    Restart iChat afterwards. Yu are likely to be sent back to do the Startup screens.

    You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

  • Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress)

    Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

  • How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

  • I had the icloud account changed on the iPad (have added new ID and deleted old one). However when updating/downloading , it still asks for password to the previous account...?

    I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!

    Maybe you should set it up as new device again:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were bought with and can not be shared with other devices that have a different Apple ID.

  • I want it to ask the master password all the time when I open the site which my password is saved

    I want it to ask the master password all the time when I open the site which my password is saved.
    This is not the problem, may be a feature.

    Your question is quite vague, but if I am right then, go to Tools> Options and then "Security" Tab then select "Saved Passwords" and you should find all the passwords you have saved for websites so far. If its an issue with the master passwords that is for Firefox itself, then the Master Passwords option is right above this. Have a look at the image below.

  • Why does the forum log me out so quickly, requiring me to re-enter my ID & password all the time?

    Why does the forum log me out so quickly, requiring me to re-enter my ID & password all the time?  When I reply to a post I also have to re-enter both items.  Even my online banking is saavy enough to reconnize me and autofil my ID.

    It works for me. This looks like some browser issue. Try Clearing browser cache and signing in again.

  • HT1349 Last week I was prompted to do an update on my MacBook Pro which I did & now different things keep popping up asking for passwords for a keychain & it won't go away. I don't know what these are & I don't know how to access them. Help me please

    Last week I was prompted to do an update on my Mac Book Pro which I did. Ever since I did the update a box keeps popping up asking for login info for my keychains & they won't go away. I have no clue what these keychains are & I don't know how to find them & know the passwords for each of them. Plus now I don't get my email on here either. Please help me...

    Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
    As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • I have changed my Apple ID n pw , however an old Apple ID pops up asking for the pass word , I can't stop it or get rid of it, or find a pass word that works. Or reset it?

    I Changed my Apple ID and PW they work fine. But the old Apple ID keeps popping up asking for a PW, how can I get rid of the pop up request Or the old Apple ID? This only happens on the iPad.

    Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.
