Email id or password incorrect error

This error has been plagueing ipad and iphones. It does not seem to be specific to the carrier. I know auto correction can mess up your input, sometimes garbling passwords and other odd words. I have controlled for that.
I can no longer use my ipad to get mail because it happens every time. The data is correct so it has to be a flaw in the OS. Thoughts?

I recently have had an issue with sending emails on my iPad. I have three mail accounts, and the only account I could send from was my ...me.com account. All accounts worked fine for the first couple of months, then the error occurred recently which showed up as a 'password error' in my outgoing email server. Interestingly however my SMTP server did not require a password! My iPhone continued to work fine, using the same accounts. The fault is in the iPad SMTP server port setting. Go to Settings - Mail etc - (account) - SMTP - Primary server - Server port, and reset the port to the same as your iPhone settings.
For some reason my SMTP server port had randomly changed without my input, causing the fault. This may have coincided with an upgrade to iOS 4 but I can't be sure.

  • Baffled - 9300 setting up email - user - password incorrect error message

    I hope someone here can shed some light ofn this because I've spent 3 weeks trying to resolve and I'm still stuck after literaly hours on the phone to the network provider and exploring every possible potential cause.
    About three weeks ago I upgraded my BB from Curve 9300 to 9380.  I copied settings using desktop software and transferred over to my new device.  All apps reinstalled fine and I set five email accounts including 3 (business emails) provided through a hosting account with Media Temple.  These all work fine and still do.
    My old phone was to be given to a colleague, so I reset the device and put all setting back to default and followed the process indicated for a new SIM.  When we tried to set up email on the old device (9300) it wouldn't work giving an error message stating unable to verify account contact email provider.  I am the administrator of the email accounts so I know that the settings are correct., the network provider reset all settings for email etc and BIS account details  etc are all correct.  The email account works through outlook and can be accessed via webmail and we've tried password change and even deleted and set a new email account up but still the same problem - error message stating user or password incorrect.
    I hoped that this was a problem with the settings on the old device (9300) which we could pin down and resolve however it seems not to be as now when I try to set up a new email account on my new device (9380) I get the same problem!!  User password error - when the details entered are 100% correct and on a device which I successfully set up the same type of email account !!
     I'm completely stumped and if anyone has or is experiencing a similar problem and has any info on this or has managed to resolve, I'd like to hear from you as I've explored everything I can think of with network and email hosts.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You need to call your provider to inquire if the 9300 is properly registered on their network and to the SIM card account in the device. They need to confirm the correct BlackBerry Data Plan on that account, it is not uncommon for them to mistakenly not do this or provision the incorrect data plan,.

  • Can't send email because of 'password authentication' error message.

    I am having a problem sending email. I can receive emails but not send. The message I am getting is "The SMTP server "mail.grandecom.net" (my provider's server) doesn't support Password authentication. Please check you account settings..."
    I have checked my account settings and tried all of the variables many, many times already. i have called my ISP and confirmed the settings with them. I have 4 different mail clients on my computer and they will all correctly receive and send using the same settings as those on the ipad yet still get them same error message.
    I am using the iPad over wi-fi.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I would delete the problem email account and re-enter the the account. It is easy to make an error in setting up the account but hard to find the error and that is why deleting and reentering it is often better,

  • Password incorrect error message???

    I have repeatedly gotten the error message: The iCloud IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user xxx, when I know my password is correct...Even went so far as to reset my password, which did not help. any suggestions to remedy?
    The message pops up all day and is driving me nuts - so is the fact that I am not getting my messages, except at random times - twice all day today they have come through....any ideas as to what the problem is?
    I did nothing, just came from nowhere -
    So I am pretty confident it is not me/my password, etc...
    on both my phone and computer, btw...
    though phone seems to be getting more this afternoon...

  • Hotmail Password Incorrect - nothing works!  dang it!

    Hi,
    Looking for help after updating an iPod to iTunes 10.5.  Hotmail email account no longer works. 
    I have deleted the email account on the iPod and tried to re-establish the Hotmail account in the Add Account section using 3 methods: Microsoft Exchange, Windows Live Hotmail, and Other.  In all three cases, I received the "Password Incorrect" error message.
    I have also reset my Hotmail password on desktop computer, and this didn't change anything. 
    I also wiped & restored the iPod in an attempt to start from scratch, but still got the same error message.
    Not sure what else to try since I'm getting same error message using every conceivable way to establish the Hotmail account on my iPod.  Again, it worked perfectly prior to recent 10.5 update. 
    Also, fyi, haven't been able to establish my iCloud account yet, either, which may be related to this as well?  not sure. 
    Thanks in advance for specific recommendations (beyond the methods I've already tried).  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi, just to clarify, the iPod was recently updated, now running iOS 5.0

  • App Store Login Apple ID Not Found/Password Incorrect?

    So every time I go to install an application, I enter my password and I get this error:
    "The Apple ID or AOL screen name you entered couldn't be found or
    your password was incorrect. Please try again"
    So I then go to iTunes on my Mac, click on "Account" in the iTunes store, and I get the exact same error. I'm 100% positive I'm entering the correct password.
    I click "Forgot Password" and then reset it back to what it is EXACTLY, and everything is fine, until the next day.
    The password will work on anything else (mail, apple.com login, etc.) just not anything to do with the iTunes store.
    Why do I have to reset my password every day!?

    I have been dealing with the exact same problem. Trying to access my account (in iTunes, or the myinfo site, or ESPECIALLY from the AppStore app on my 3G iPhone) results in the standard "account doesn't exist or password incorrect" error. Occasionally I get the "account disabled for security reasons" error. I assume this is because sometimes while frustratedly trying to use my account I exceed the max # of failed login attempts and Apple locks the account.
    The only workaround (which is no workaround at all) is to do as you have: reset my password every few hours. I experimented with checking the interval before the password is mysteriously invalidated - it seems to be between 3-4 hours after a last successful login (I don't know if this is an absolute interval, i.e. your password is invalidated after this time period regardless of your successful login activity or if there has to be a period of inactivity to trigger the password invalidation).
    I talked with phone support and after the usual reset-your-password flowchart walk-through was directed to the iTunes email support page. Typed in my problem details and 72 hours after the absolutely guaranteed reply time of 24 hours have yet to receive any reply.

  • HT201320 Email app using gmail account error

    Suddenlly, email app shows error "cannot get email username or password incorrect" (gmail account). Considering I am using this ipad since last year and this email for many years, what could be the resolvation? I don't have the 2 step verifying activated for the gmail account...

    Yes, i can sign in on safari, the email works on the gmail app (which is inferior to the apple email app).. Even on blackberry it works as usual! I can't even set the account again because of that message...
    i Know i saw something "weird" in  the account settings in the ipad: the settings for mail account from the outgoing server smtp (which are on) were cemented (grey and not accessible) and for Authentication it was set (and also blocked like all that part) Gmail client token...

  • Apple ID Not found/Password incorrect

    Hiya,
    I am constantly receiving an error when I try to login to the app store/ itunes. I can access my account online so my password isn't incorrect. I have reset it nevertheless but still I continue to receive the 'Apple ID Not found/Password Incorrect' error.
    I was wondering if anybody else has had such problems?
    Thanks in advance!

    Ahh, so it isn't just me? I had asked a few friends to check and they say that they have been able to login successfully. Perhaps it's an internal error. Thank you for replying
    Edit:
    Yes, I am putting the correct Apple ID in. It was working up until 5 minutes ago. I can login on the Apple website fine but not via my iTunes, app store or the iTunes on my iPhone and iPad

  • Error messages, cannot get mail. server failed. password incorrect.

    my iphone comes up with an error message that says "cannot get mail. the connection to the server failed", i always press ok. then the iphone says that my email "password incorrect" when I know it is not incorrect. i have typed the right one multiple times but i am not able to get mail for this certain email address. it is a windows live (hotmail) account. I have another gmail account that is working fine so far. i have tried all the trouble shoot tutorials on the apple website, nothing worked yet.... Please help!

    i had to manually put in the correct email. I wanted to register a hotmail account but since it was giving me that response, I researched this issue. Finally, I found out some specifics and gave it a try. The post said to Go to Add email and Click Other. My email is a live account... I needed to type::
    host name: outlook.com
    SMTP (Outgoing mail server): stmp.live.com
    Server port as 995
    When I put all of that in, it worked. Hope that helps!

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • Cannot complete email client form, keep getting error message "Invalid credentials check email and password"

    I have Elements and Premier Photoshop 8 on my windows 7, 64 bit, computer.  I just downloaded the upgrade to #13 for both.  The Elements downloaded ok and transferred pictures from #8.  My problem is that on 13 I cannot configure an email client so I can email my photos to other people.  When I fill out the configure email client form I get an error message that says "Invalid credentials Please check your email address and password and try again"  I did that and continued to receive the same error message. I entered the email address and password I use to get into my adobe account.  How can I solve this problem?

    Hi,
    In the organizer, in the Preferences -> Email, the email address and password is not your Adobe Id, it should be your mail service provider - it could be a Microsoft Account or a Gmail.
    When you normally use emails, you must have an email account with a password - use that.
    If you have to use the "other" type of service provider, it needs to be configured for the SMTP service.
