Are you manually entering them?
Are the being entered from your KeyChain?
Have you tried using another browser?
You can successfully enter them on another device?

As of Friday Night, Apple MAIL (in Tiger) asks for imap password? Why?

As of Friday night, when accessing my email (via AOl's imap server enabled through Tiger's 10.4.8 Mail, I can no longer get my new mail. I changed no settings on the computers (this began occurring on two of my Macs--a 15-inch G4 Titanium PB 867 and a Dual 1 GHZ Quicksilver) within the Apple Mail apps. I just started getting this weird alert/dialog box saying "unable to recognize your 'imap' password, please re-enter"--which I then did--to no avail. I could not get any new mail.
Now, on my other Mac, a G4 Upgraded B&W G3 running Panther, the mail runs fine. I can see my new mail--which I tested by sending a message from the "Tiger" computers to myself. The message would be sent--I could hear the "whoosh"--but not show up in the Tiger mailboxes. Of course--got in the Panther 10.3.9 Mail In-box no sweat!
Rebuilt permissions on both machines, still no change. The e-mail works fine when I access it via the web (through AOL), but I just can't figure out what happened since Friday night? Is AOL having IMAP server trouble? I just dunno. All I do know is that my mail is now broken under Tiger and I now have to go through more hoops to get my mail--the extra webmail shenanigans are a kludge, and having an Airport card in the PB is sort of negated a lot having to do teh whole webmail access when it worked so well before just hitting my "Mail" icon.
I've checked the forums and seen nothing mentioned about any "problems" since last night, sooooo, I guess maybe it's ME...but, on both computers? Weird.
Any help wopuld be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
Yusuf Lamont

OK, I just want to make clear that Mail is asking for the Keychain password over and over again, periodically, while Mail is open. It does not ask for the passwords to individual accounts. There is no problem logging into any of the three email accounts I have activated. The normal behavior of Mail is to ask for the Keychain password once upon launch. What it does now, is continue to ask for the Keychain password periodically - perhaps every fifteen minutes, or so.
I have tried:
Running Keychain Repair. It did find problems, repaired them, but this did not resolve the issue.
Disabled accounts one at a time, hoping to isolate the problem to one account - no luck. Then I disabled all at once. Mail continued asking for Keychain password, even though all accounts were disabled.
Deleted Keychain Items associated with these e-mail accounts, and re-created them. This did not resolve the issue.
Cursing Mail each time it asked for, and I had to re-enter, the Keychain password. This, also, did not resolve the issue.
I can't see anything in the Console associated with Mail. What would cause Mail to ask for the main password after it's already been entered? It seems to me that if the problem were coming from a server, it should cease once the account's been disabled. If it were a Keychain issue, I would expect to have problems with other apps. Obviously, it's not a problem with the Keychain Items themselves since they were deleted and re-created. That leads me to think the problem is with Mail. But, I've been wrong before....

When I download Adobe Reader, it asks for a password. It doesn't accept my Adobe password. What password is it searching for?

When I download Adobe Reader, it asks for a password. It doesn't accept my Adobe password. What password is it searching for?

Then try leaving the password field blank and hitting enter. If that doesn't work, you have a password (and would be beyond the help available in the Adobe forums).

My calendar is asking for Google password but not accepting it

It just happened now, out of the blue. My email accounts work well but my calendars keep popping up asking me for my Google password but they don't accept it.
I use Thunderbird version 31.2.0, Lightning 3.3.1 and Provider for Google Calendar 0.32 (the latest version doesn't work at all)

I have the same problem.
Last month i did the fix (desinstalled provider and lightening and relinked agenda to google calendar and disabled the autoupdate)
Since then everything worked and i did not touch anything. Nevertheless all of a sudden, agenda started to ask for my password but don't accept it and then says that an error has occured while preparing the agenda which won't be available.

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account. Help!

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?

It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.

When I try to access the Apple store to install a game on my Iphone3g, another person's email address comes up on the page that asks for my password. Has someone hacked my account? It won't accept my password because it's someone else's ID!!!

When I attempt to install a game on my I phone 3g, another person's ID (email address) is on the little box where it asks for my password. It won't accept my password because it's not my ID. How can I get this person's ID off my phone? Have I been hacked or something??

Just sign put of that account and into yours.

You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

HT1595 In a hilton hotel and the honors internet is recognized by my apple tv but it doesn't ask for the password. It says it's connected but it won't bring up iTunes because it's not really connected. help!

I'm in a Hampton Inn trying to connect my apple tv to the wifi. Apple TV recognizes and says it's connected but doesn't ask for the password and is not actually connected because it can't download Itunes. How can I get the Apple TV to ask for a password. I noticed another wifi connection from someone in another room and when I clicked on that the Apple TV asked for the password, but doesn't for the hhonors wifi. Anyone know what to do?

Thanks vazandrew. I had to call the provider, but they have 24/7 service. They had to manually add the device. Thanks for your help.

I changed my email address for my Apple ID but my phone doesn't recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email

I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

Hello TirEoghain,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

I had to replace the hard drive in my old MacBook. I replaced it. Installed OSX10.6. Then using the system software I reinstalled data from my Time Machine backup. On completion it asked for my password. It is not accepted. I am locked out how I overcome this?
I was already using 10.7. But only had the disc for 10.6.

Sorry I am new to this. Am I in the right area? I am using my iPhone to make contact. I am worried.

Keeps asking for my password sometimes takes it sometimes doesn't

I very much appreciate your help and expertise --- Thunderbird keeps asking for my password. I use it for both a non gmail account and a gmail account. Both accounts have repeatedly asked for the password... however the gmail account seems to work better than the other one.
It doesn't matter if I click the box that says save this password or not.
I had yesterday reset the password once on the server side of things and thought that had fixed it... but then again today I started getting the same error message that it cannot login to my server.
I looked through your help boards and cannot find a solution that I understand. There are a couple that seem like they may work but the things they are naming to reset are things I don't even know what they are... Sorry I'm not very techno savvy --

Delete the password stored in Tools/Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords, OK, restart TB, and enter the correct password when you're prompted at the next network connection.

After downloading updates and automatically restarting my computer, it asks for a password and says I can use my apple ID but then will not accept my apple ID which I have verified on my ipad

When I got the message that there were updates, I accepted them and then my computer restarted automatically. Next it asked for a password which I gave but that was not accepted. I got a message that I could use my apple ID so I did that. It also was not accepted. I verified that I had the correct apple ID on my iPad. Still can not get my Mac book pro running. Any suggestions.

Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,
Mario

You may want to wait for others to see this thread who might offer some other suggestions, but you could consider resetting the password. These instructions work for Lion (10.7.x) and Mountain Lion (10.8.x).
