Cannon Send Mail (user name and password are incorrect) but they are correct

My mom just got a new phone and I setup iCloud, but it will not send email, it says
cannot send mail. The user name/ password for iCloud are incorrect, but they are correct

I just found this so I answered my own question

I keep getting an error message while trying to setup my imap Gmail and Aol accounts on my new ipad air. The error says user name or password is incorrect but I know for a fact they are correctly entered. How do I correct this?

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

Can't sign in to google, says the user name and password are incorrect but they are not! No problem with IE

I am trying to sign into my google account. I go through the process of resetting the password successfully. When I reopen Firefox, I have to sign in again (despite checking "stay signed in") and the user name and password are deemed not correct even though they are! There is no problem in Internet Explore. In Firefox, I have cleared the cache and cookies.

Looks like you might have an old password saved in Firefox.
The instructions here should be able to help you remove your saved ebay password.

Cannot send email user name or password is incorrect

I have an iPhone 3Gs with 6.1.6 iOS software and gmail. Until last week I could receive and send emails on my phone. Last week I tried to email a photo from my iPhone and received the following message "Cannot send email the user name or password is incorrect". About 30 minutes later I received an email message from google accounts with a sign-in attempt blocked message. Since then I have not been able to send an email from my phone. Every time I try to send an email I get the "User name or Password for Gmail is incorrect" - message. I changed passwords but that didn't help. I can receive emails on my phone but I can't send them. The only way I can send email is by clicking on the less secure apps button on the google accounts settings page.. Why do I get this message now and how can I get gmail working on my phone like it used to? If I delete my gmail account does it just remove it from the phone where the same account can be reinstalled or is it completely gone for good?

Not able to get email.says user name or password is wrong but both are correct

Email question. Cant get mail. Says username or password is wrong. Both are correct

Check the mail server name that was entered.

Active Directory "Invalid User name and password" but have joined before

I have had a small handful of machine repeat the same thing. A workstation may still login but with an old PW, it will no longer authenticate to the domain. In times past I have been able to track the edu.kerberos.mit file and the directoryServices perference files. And then rebind the computer to the domain. These computers will begin to rejoin to the domain, but stop at step 3 which is verifying credentials and report and error saying my user name and password is incorrect, but they are correct. Keep in mind it goes through steps 1-3 very quickly. In the logs for Directory Services it tell me _Kerberos does not have a record for the server and it displays our domain controller. Then another right under saying Kpasswd does not have any record of the server. To me this indicates a Kerberos problem and KDC, which I understand runs locally on the machine now with Leopard. Keep in mind a new machine (machine I just imaged) will bind perfect.
Some machines even show still connected to the domain, one I could search via DSCL, but when I went to unbind it gave me a password error.
It seems like a password issue. Any suggestions?

I don't have Vista...
I wonder if this will help:

TS3899 When i check my email I get the message "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for "Gmail" is incorrect". The user name and password are definiately correct, I can log on through safari. This worked fine this morning!

My gmail account has stopped working on my iphone, saying the user name or password is incorrect, but both are definitely correct. I have tried restarting the phone, deleting the account and setting it up again, and checked that I can log on through safari. It had been working fine until this morning! Any ideas how to fix this?

Turn off 2 step authentication on your gmail account in a browser. It should work fine afterwards.

Apple are currently trying to get less secure passwords updated. They require that your account passwords are at least eight characters long and contain both alpha and numeric characters and at least one upper case alpha character.
You might try changing your account password to match these requirements.

Mail has stopped sending all mail. Insist that outgoing servers are offline. Have checked all setting preferences for outgoing servers including user name and password.

Mail has stopped sending all email. Says all outgoing servers are offline and server certificate are invalid. Have gone into preferences/accounts/edit SMTP servers and reentered all data including user name and password.
Have had this happen before and had to upgrade to Maverick to cure it.

So? What's your problem? BTW, you show SL as the OS, but mention installing Mavs. Very confusing.

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups

I receive an error stating user name and password are not valid on my ipad and iphone 3Gs when attempting to load email from my icloud account. When I log onto icloud from my Mac, it wont load the email either.

One day, my ipad and iphone pick up my emails (.mac account) from icloud just fine. the next day, I recieved error messages that say my user name and password are not accurate. I removed the icloud program on both devices and added it back on to both devices and get the same message. I logged into icloud from my Mac and while I can log in, it times out when I select email and wont load the email there either. Any Suggestons?

I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
iPad -- Same
Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail. When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode. They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am. Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage. I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
Hope this helps...
