Different password for mail

Can I have a different password to read my mails online?
It seems a little bit tricky to use the same password to read my mails and to purchase all my music/apps.
Thx

Can you have different passwords for mail account and ICloud?

Can you have different passwords for mail account and ICloud?

Yes - you want to go under Notifications, Mail. Set each acct the way you want.

Recently changed my password for mail, can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password and saying it's incorrect. Totally confused.

I Recently changed the password for mail, on iMac. I can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password, then telling me it's incorrect. Totally confused.

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

Hi Cristigil,
Are you talking about your lock screen passcode? If so, go into Settings>General>Passcode Lock, and Change one of your Passcodes to match the other.
Hope this helps!

ACS 5.3 Different password for privilege exec mode

This is what I would like to do for our Core Routers. Not too familiar with ACS, so please excuse me if I don't provide you will all the details.
Right now I have ACS 5.3 which is tide to Active Directory. When a user logs in they use there AD credentials to access the CLI and use that same password to access privileged exec mode.
What I want to do is have users log in using their AD credentials like normal but have a unique password to access privileged exec mode, different for each user.
So far this is what I have done:
1) Created a test user (same as AD user name) in the Internal Identity Store
Password Type: Internal Users
normal password set differently that Enable Password (I think Enable Password will only be relevant)
2) Created a rule under Access Policies > Device Admin - Commands > Identity
- Created Rule with Current Condition Set (TACACS+:Authen-Type match ASCII And (TACACS+:Action match Login AND TACACS+Service match Enable))
- Identity Source: Internal Users
When I enable the rule. I can login with my AD credentials, but when I try to access privilege exec mode the password that I created for the local user (regular and enable) does not work.
Question: Do I need to create a shell profile with Maximum privilege value set to something under 15 for the authorization policy and apply it so it will try and use the internal user's enable password?
Not to familiar with how this works. One of my co-workers said I needed to demote the users in order for my rule to work.

Hey Tushar,
That is our current setup. Right now each user logs in with their AD credentials to get into user exec mode and the same password to get into privileged exec mode. I would like to have a user login with their normal AD credentials to get into user exec mode and a different password (specific to each user, not locally on the device) to login to privileged exec mode. We are doing this for security reasons. Hopefully that clarifys what I'm trying to do.
Thanks

Mail Account NO LONGER stores Passwords for Mail Accounts

Since my last restart my mac mail accounts (.mac, company, etc) no longer STORE passwords for either the send or smtp receive... Anyone experience this before? I'm going to try and toss the mail pref files and even delete my accounts, but since it's happening to ALL of my accounts (5) at the same time I'm concerned that I'll be wasting my time until I fix what's gotten broken...

Since these password are stored in your Keychain, try running Keychain First Aid on your Keychain via Keychain Access.

Rejected password for mail account...

Hello.
How can I remedy this ongoing issue of the Mail program asking for the password multiple times per week? (quite often, I'll have to enter it 20 times in the course of 5 minutes for it to actually get accepted).
I'm amazed that this hasn't been fixed yet, but until that happens, how can I temporarily remedy it?
This is the prompt that I get:
The POP server “mail.comcast.net” rejected the password for user “alexguitar1”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
thank you.

Check out your Keychain Access (Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access). Two things you can do:
1. check whether you have two or more keychains for your email account - ideally you should have one per mailbox. Delete any extra ones you don't need (check that the password of the remaining one is correct).
2. Still in Keychain Access, select the Keychain Access menu and choose "Keychain First Aid". You cna verify and repair any Keychain problems here.

Different passwords for KeyStore and Key entry

I am having trouble using a keystore whose entries have passwords that are different from both each other, and the keystore itself. I have managed to get this (differing storepass, and keypass) working for the case of a single entry, but this case is pointless since it is the same as having a new keystore for each user. It also works fine in the case that multiple key entries share a password that is different from the keystore. However, when I place a new key entry with a different password into the keystore I get an UnrecoverableKeyException upon initialization of the KeyManagerFactory.
There seems to be some sort of restriction that the key entries should all share the same password.
I have found several articles and texts that touch on this, but the details are fuzzy. Has anyone else ever tried to do this? Will you offer some insight? When multiple users have access to the same machine should they share a keystore, or is keeping a separate keystore file for each user the standard?
Thank you for any assistance.

Pankaj,
Thank you for your reply. I also have not seen the problems when manipulating the keys with keytool. However, when selecting a key through the KeyManager I get problems.
I have wrapped the default KeyManager with another KeyManager which captures the calls to chooseClientAlias, and getPrivateKey so that I may use the key's password rather than the one that was used to load the keystore. The problem seems to arise before this.
I get an UnrecoverableKeyException at the time that the KeyManagerFactory is initialized. I don't know what the KeyManagerFactory initialization method is doing with the password. Do you know where I might find the code for this? My debugger just gives me function defs. I think that I need to supply a custom KMF, but it would be nice to know what the default one is doing first.
I noticed that you have authored a book on j2ee security. Does it cover this?

PassWord for Mail?

Is there a way to setup mail to ask for a password BEFORE! opening mail? I don't like the fact that anyone can open my mail if i'm away from my computer. Thanks

Chances are your username and password used to login to your mail is stored in your "login" Keychain. Items on your "login" keychain can be used by apps simply because you have logged in. In Applications/Utilities there is a application called Keychain Access. You can create a new keychain (give it any name that you want) and move the mail related usernames and passwords to the new keychain. That way, OS X will prompt you for the password for that keychain (you can set it to your normal login password) before it can hand off usernames and passwords from that keychain to Mail.app
The other suggestions that people have mentioned are good, too. One way to "lock" your system without having to log of is to go to fast user switching (if you have it enabled in the menu bar) and select "Login Window".

Password for Mail Application

Is it possible to set a password for the entire Mail application? ie. when I open it up, it asks for the password?

You can set the email account PW to not be stored in keychain. That would stop mail from contacting the email servers.
Why would anyone else be on your account anyways? If no one can go on your account, they can't get anything in your Mail program (there is no such thing as perfect security, however).

Password for Mail folder

No, such a feature does not exist on the iPhone.

How do you reset password for mail in iCloud??

Somehow my mail address has gone from Mac.com to me.com and now to icloud.com
I still receive mails from Mac and me .com but not icloud.com, although when I now send a mail, it forces me to send it via icloud.com.
This summer I was on my iphone and I tried to get to my icloud account and it told me to reset my password for some reason, so I did, and then I couldn't access it. So now when I goto icloud it tells me to reset my password, which sends me an email that gives me a link to restting on apple but with message saying the link is invalid!!! Thus begins the crazy circle where I do it all over again with the same result. My IT guy is equally baffled. So now I can't get any mail, it's insane!
Any suggestions.

Your password for iCloud email is the same as for the whole of iCloud. You change it at http://appleid.apple.com - once you have done this you have to go to System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and click the 'Sign out' button (on an iOS device it's 'Delete account' - this does not delete the account from the server).
You then sign back in again using the new password. Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac/device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.
You signature says you are using 10.6.7 - I assume this is incorrect as this is not compatible with iCloud: if so could you please amend it to prevent confusion.

The server forgets passwords for Mail?

Does any else get this and know the answer? On occasions a user sometimes gets the message: The IMAP server “address of server.co.uk” rejected the password for user (name of user).
However once I re-apply the password in workgroup manager using the same password it works? Why is this and how do I stop it? Thanks Rob

I assume you are talking about the admin account which was created when the machine was first setup????
Boot from your OS CD and look for option to reset password.
Password resets are frequently discussed, so searching the forums will locate info- also searching Apple's knowledgebase will bring up information.
It's not daunting, but you need to do a little looking...
