I get asked for my password about every 10 minutes. Why?

For the past week, my phone keeps asking for my apple password very, very often. Does anyone know why this is happening? It is annoying.

Why i always get ask for the password

You purchased the content... the fact that it failed to download does not change the fact that you purchased the content.

Keep getting asked for my password for email. Says my POP server rejected my password. How do I fix this?

I keep getting asked for my password for email. Says my POP server "pop.charter.net" rejected the password. In the past I just went into my email and it came up automatically.

In Keychain, in the Keychain window, select "login". In the category window, select passwords.
In the name field, look for name of your outgoing server for that account (like smtp.mail.yahoo.com, outbound.att.net, or whatever outgoing server you have).
Just highlight it and delete it. Delete any and all for that account.
You also may want to check and make sure all your outgoing server settings are correct in Mail preferences. If any info is incorrect, it will not work. Sometimes providers change servers and you don't know about it. You may want to check that if the Keychain fix doesn't work.

How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
Use Go, Connect to server.
Type in the IP address if static.. eg
AFP://10.0.1.1
Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
Type in
AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

I get asked for a password when i did not yet set one (after a system reset for the same problem)

I am getting asked for a password when i have yet to set one. I have already done a reset and am still getting prompted for a password, which I do not know.

If you can't remember the Restrictions passcode you have to either:
- Restore the iPod from a backup that does not have the passcode, or
- Restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod.

Hi Lutonpete,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving repeated prompts for different “Local Items” keychain passwords and know how frustrating this situation can be. There is a solution to this issue however. Please use the steps and information in the attached article to resolve this issue.

ITunes keeps asking for my password, and every time I go to look at my account info it says my session has timed out?

I'm trying to change my payment information, yet everyime it asks for my password, I'll enter it but it just keeps asking? And when it finally gets through and I click on payment information, it says my session has timed out. How can I fix this? I've tried to do it on multiple devices but it's happening on all of them.

Same thing happens to me as well. Might be a community wide problem, I tried entering my information on multiple devices and it doesn't wanna work, it gives me the same error when trying to purchase it's a good day to die hard

I'm trying to update my apps but I keep getting asked for my password to an email address I don't use how can I get rid of it

I press update all apps, I get asked to input my password for my current appleID but then it pops up again asking for a password to an email address that I haven't used in years. Its never done this before what can I do?

It tells me the old appleID has been disabled, I reset my password but the old ID keeps popping up asking for a password when I try to update my apps

Today all of our outlook 2010 and 2007 clients are repeatedly getting asked for their password. This problem just appeared today at both of our locations with exchange 2010 server.

Users on the local network can open outlook and it immediately connects and they see their e-mail. After a minute or two a box will popup asking for their password. Even if it is entered correctly it keeps asking over and over. Closing
outlook and re-opening it solves the problem but only for a minute. Remote users using HTTPS over OWA to connect can't get their outlook clients to connect at all. This does not have any effect on ios devices just outlook 2010 and older.

I would suggest that some virtual directories configured to use Basic Authentication. EWS, OAB or Autodiscover for instance.
Also check Outlook Anywhere configuration. If it was changed from NTLM to Basic it could cause such credential's prompts.
But if you believe that configuration wasn't changed recently then another possible reason for this behavior could be NTLM bottleneck:

OK... all of a sudden I get asked for mail password

This has just started happening recently... and it is getting a little irritating. What makes it even more frustrating is it not consistent... sometimes it asks me two or three times a session and other times it works without issue.
I will be in Mail and the box pops up asking me for my password and I check the little box allowing it to put it in keychain... sometimes a few moments later it pops up again...
Can anyone tell me what is going on or what has possibly changed. I sure haven't changed anything on my system with Mail. It almost makes me want to switch to Entourage.
Thoughts??

Like many others, I too have noticed intermittent mail-check authentication failures since around mid-November. I use Eudora 6.2.4 with 3 Verizon accounts and another at my employer; only the Verizon ones have this problem. I see the same thing with Mail.app (version 3.5).
In my case, the problem seems to be 100% correlated with 2 of Verizon's pool of about 15 servers. Please see my postings at
http://forums.verizon.com/vrzn/board/message?board.id=FiOS_Internet&thread.id=10 18 .
I have no explanation as to why some user's Mail Preferences are reverting to APOP. I can see that Ernie Stamper's suggested workaround of setting the preference to "Password" works on Verizon, but IMHO is a bit risky, since that results in your name and password being sent in the clear. I have found that for Verizon users at least, setting the preference to "MD5" is better; that's secure, and it'll work most of the time, but if it fails, Mail will immediately fall back to "Password" which will always work -- that's still unsecure but at least it does that only occasionally rather than every time.

ARD asks for computer passwords at every launch

Every time I launch ARD on my admin machine, it asks for the computer passwords in my list of computers. I have 120 computers, and the pw is different for each one!! This is getting annoying, to say the least.
Is there a plist or some other file that may be deleted where this info is stored? Or another way to fix this??? I sure hope so.
Thanks,
Lisa

Another attempt to help.
Create a new user and see if ARD works any differently in the new account.
If not, then just consider this another bump

My hotspot is turned off. Other household iphone can turn my hotspot on and don't get asked for a password. Any way to change this?

I have iphone 6, my son has iphone 5c. My hotspot is turned off. My son gets option to tether to my hotspot, if he clicks on that then it remotely turns my hotspot on! Can other iphone users do the same? Worried about other people using all my data.

The password for the hotspot will remembered by the devices that have connected to your hotspot.
If you can't reset the network settings on those devices, which would also delete all network passwords on those, just chafe the hotspot password on your phone in Settings/Hotspot/Wi-Fi password.

Keep getting asked for VM password even though I turned it off & don't use

I do not like this latest update. When I switch from one area to another or when I'm in the middle of searching, I get a message "Password incorrect. Enter Voicemail Password." This is after I called AT&T and apple and deleted password usage from voicemail. It doesn't stop ASKING!!! Driving me crazy. That is why I don't use a PW because I don't want to have to click anything extra!!

Not sure how Apple can delete password usage for visual voicemail access with the iPhone or has anything to do with that, and I wasn't aware it was possible to not have a password to access voicemail the old fashioned way by having to call to access voicemail.
With the iPhone's visual voicemail feature, you don't have to click anything extra. The chosen password has to be entered only once. After that, it is automatic for visual voicemail messages to be downloaded to your iPhone from AT&T's servers and for listening to visual voicemail messages on your iPhone.

When I move items to the trash I get asked for my password.

When I try to move any item into the trash I a screen pops up and says that the finder needs my password in order to complete this action. So once I enter in my password the item gets deleted from the desktop or wherever but does not even show up in the trash. My computer has never done this before until recently and I find it annoying that I have to type in a password to move an item that doesnt even show up where I move it. Is there any way that I can fix or change this?

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
