I am very regularly asked to enter my icloud password on my iPhone, why ??

Hi,
first sorry for the mistakes i could make writing those lines, i am french and my poor english could bother you
I have a problem using my new iPhone 5S (Silver 64 Go)
I often have to enter my iCloud Password, and even sometimes i am told it is wrong !
Why do I have to enter it several times a day, a hour ?
I also have a similar problem on my iPad, with my email account passwords. I have to type them several times a day, and i have 5 email accounts. That is awful. Apple had never got me used to having problems or bugs before... Disappointing and tiring !!
Please help, and again forgive my grammar or voc mistakes :/

Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.

I recall it happening to me once. I inadvertently had the caps lock on and after numerous failed attempts, I was asked to verify my account or reset my password.

  • Ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

    You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
    Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.

  • Constantly being asked to enter my iCloud password, every 5 minutes or so.

    Hey everyone.
    I have an iPhone 6 and I am getting that error where im constantly being asked to enter my iCloud password every 5 to 10 minutes, regardless of what im doing.
    I've just updated to the latest 8.2 hoping it would fix the issue but it hasn't
    Apart from it being quite annoying, as of yesterday, I can no longer connect to my family group, or backup my phone to iCloud.
    It has gone from a mere nuisance to not being able to use some key features of my phone.
    I've tried restarting, and even changed my iCloud password to no avail.
    Does anyone have any insight on this?
    Thank you in advance.

    No it won't completely wipe your phone. You can verify that your iCloud information is up to date by going to iCloud.com and checking Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. These are updated by being pushed between iCloud and the devices signed onto the same iCloud account. The backup is there in case you have to restore you device for some reason.
    But simply signing out of and then back in again to iCloud will not erase anything - you would only have to do a restore if your device failed in some way or went into Recovery mode.  Just make sure your photos in the Photo Stream that are over 30 days old are also in your Camera Roll, or have been imported to a computer (or if you are using iCloud Photo Beta, make sure they are there).
    You can also do a manual backup to iTunes on the computer you sync with if you wish.
    Other than that, everything you see in iCloud.com will be pushed back to your device when you sign on again.
    Cheers,

  • Why am I regularly asked to reset my iCloud password?

    It happens ever few months. Others don't seem to have this problem. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way around it?

    Hope I'm in the right place.  First time user.  Not tech savvy.  Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks.  Box keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password.  I keep entering my password but box keeps popping back up asking for password?!  I selected cancel but what should I do next time it asks for my iCloud password?  Is my iCloud working?  How do I retrieve my password?
    Thanks

    In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

  • My iPhone keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password, Why?

    Almost every time I enter the mail app, and randomly throughout the day, my iPhone keeps popping this box up asking for me to enter my iCloud password. I enter it and it goes away. I know the password I'm entering is correct, but, my question is - why is this happening? I've had every iPhone ever made and just recently bought the 6 Plus and this is the first time ever I've encountered the issue. Any help on getting this annoying popup to stop is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Try signing out of the acount comletely and then signing back in again. If it doesn't help and you have more devices, sign out everywhere and try again.

  • Since the last update can't send mail every time I must enter my iCloud password.

    I Have a iPhone 6 and a ipad 4. Since the last update only on my phone when I try to send mail a box pops up & I have to enter my iCloud password. It's very annoying. I don't have this issue on my ipad and as I said it started after the last update. Anyone have an answer what's going on & how to fix it.
    Thanks would really appreciate any help

    Hi Gizzymoeaiden,
    If you are having an issue with your iPhone asking for your iCloud password each time you try to send mail, it may be necessary to reset the password of the Apple ID you are using for iCloud. See this article for how -

  • When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?

    When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?

    These are a couple different issues
    The purchase issue means they came from a different Apple ID
          You will need that Apple ID and password for those purchases
    The iCloud account can be an Find My iPhone issue.
           That could be the same Apple ID as the purchased or yet another one.
                  Once again you will need that Apple ID and password.

  • TS3988 my contacts on my Iphone disappear when I enter my ICloud password

    My contacts disappear on my IPhone 4 when I enter my ICloud password.  Anyone else having the same problem, and what is the solution?

    Prior to entering your iCloud ID and password, when turning on iCloud, were you using some other account?  When switching accounts, data from the old account are deleted from the device.  Otherwise when you turn on iCloud, you should still have the old contacts listed in "On My iPhone".  Its the "iCloud" grouping that would contain new contacts that you enter to sync with icloud.
