ICloud password expired

Hello!
Recently I updated my AppleTV (3rd gen) to the latest software but my Photo Stream was not working. It told me I needed to put in my password again. Upon entering it, the AppleTV claimed my password was incorrect. While I know many will say this, I am 100% certain it is the right password. I log in with it several times a day. In either case, upon accessing iCloud.com, it claims my password has 'expired'. I have never run into this before. Incidentally, all my devices are still functioning. I can still use my AppleID (the *same* AppleID) to make purchases, using the current password so it appears my password has not expired as I could not make purchases, my emails would not be coming in, iCloud should not be syncing, etc. But on my AppleTV and iCloud.com, my password does not work. Any thoughts?

What is the exact message

  • My iCloud account password expires every three months, how can I change this?

    Hi!
    For a long while ago, that every three months my iCloud password expires. This indeed could be a nice security feature, but I don't find any settings to change it back. I guess there is no way, for me, to change this setting, could support do that for me?

    I don't think there is an expiration, since I still use my password I set up some time ago; however Apple's servers that are responsible for security, reacts to any suspicious activity on your account and requests reset, e.g. if you purchase a new app while on vacationing in another country or your kids playing on your Mac and trying to enter an incorrect password, which I'm thinking both instances would trigger a security flag on your account.  You may want to call Apple and speak with them concerning this to see if that might help. 

  • My iphone is locked and we're not sure of the Apple ID / iCloud password

    last 2days before i have reset everthing from my iphone...
    Unfornately i have lost/forgotten my apple ID and passwords for my iphone. When the iphone powers on, it goes straight to an iCloud username & password request and I cannot get past it.
    I have installed iTunes on my laptop but it fails to connect to the server.
    i have all my phone bill with me were i purchased.........
    This is driving me crazy. I just want to reset everything now . Can anyone help?

    If you mean that the email you were using for your Apple ID "expired" and you changed it to a different email on the same Apple account (via the Edit button on Manage your Apple ID), then you need to do the following:
    1.     Go into Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your current ID and Edit the Apple ID back to the old email. This is temporary. Do NOT verify the email, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Go to the screen on your device asking for the iCloud password, and type in your current Apple ID password.
    3.     Once the device is up and running, go to Settings>iCloud and make sure that the old account is not still signed on. If it is, Sign it off.
    4.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID, sign on with the old Apple ID and current password, and change your Apple ID back to the current one. You may have to verify it again.
    5.     Sign onto iCloud on the device with your current Apple ID and password.

  • Since upgrading to os x maverick, my FaceTime won't let me sign in and continues to prompt me to put in my iCloud password.

    Since upgrading to os x maverick, my FaceTime won't let me sign in and continues to prompt me to put in my iCloud password. It sometimes asks me to put it in 5-6 times and then it gives me an error saying that the program certification is revoked or expired. I live overseas and previously utilized FaceTime to talk to my girlfriend.

  • When responding to emails, box pops up asking for my Icloud password, each time.

    When responding to emails on my IPhone, a box pops up asking me to enter my ICloud Password. I enter it in, but box pops up even after correct password is entered.

    I didn't think to look in the keychain. I don't really use it for keeping passwords and the like. I use a separate app for that. I found an expired certificate of some kind, deleted it, logged out of iCloud in the system preferences and let it do all of the deleting it wanted to. Logged back in and bingo, no message. However, for some reason it enabled the Guest user access on my computer. No big deal, just turned it back off.
    Thanks for the clue.

  • IOs 8.1 Mail app keeps asking for iCloud password

    Since the update to iOs 8.1 i have a problem with my mailbox.
    Every time i want to create a new mail, it asks me for my iCloud password.
    This happens on my iPhone (6) and iPad (Air) while im in my iCloud inbox, Gmail inbox, or just the general overview.
    Whenever i press the create new mail icon it will ask for my iCloud password.
    - When i give the iCloud password (correct one) it wont ask for it again in the next 15 mins
    - When i dont give the iCloud password (cancel) i can just send mails but it will ask for the password whenever i create a new mail.
    What i did:
    - Remove iCloud account > reboot > Add iCloud account > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove Keychain  > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove iCloud photo's > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove iCloud mail > still asks for the iCloud password.
    - Remove iCloud > solves the problem but i dont want to remove iCloud
    - Disabled all iCloud options, (mail, contacts, etc) > didnt solve the problem
    - Disabled 2 step verification > didnt solve the problem
    Everytime i want to create a new mail, u see the phone/pad use the "syncing icon" 3x 5 seconds, maybe a link here?
    Anyone else with any ideas that i can try?

    That's interesting that it didn't start to happen after a while on your work iPad. I just tried my iPad this evening and I'm getting the same iCloud password popup message when I try to create a new mail or enable "Contacts Only' in Airdrop.
    I still think it's a problem with our iCloud accounts. Some flag in the system isn't set or something for some reason. I don't even have mail switched on in my iCloud account so there is no valid reason why Mail.app would try and authenticate to iCloud just because we create a new email.
    Signing out of iCloud fixes the issue for me (not that it's a valid long term solution) so that points the finger directly at a setting on my server side iCloud account I think.

  • How to change iCloud password on a remote Mac?

    I use iCloud and Back To My Mac (BTMM) to access some of the computers I have overseas. Everything was fine up until yesterday when I had to change my iCloud password. I now have lost access via BTMM to those remote computers as they need to have the iCloud password updated in the iCloud panel in their System Preference (and the Back to My Mac option has to be disabled/re-enabled to have it restarted).
    I have remote SSH access to those remote Macs (all running Lion and in one case Snow Leopard), so I have a working SSH shell on them. But I cannot figure out how to update the iCloud password that is stored on those Mac via command line. I can reboot them if needed of course remotely, I'd just need to update the password used for the iCloud services...
    Having someone walk to those Macs, login with my account and have them enter the password for me is not really an option, as to do that I'd have to give them both my Mac's account password and my new iCloud password, which is not going to happen :-) In addition, some of the Macs are used by my parents and in-laws, with their computer skill being limited to knowing how to open Safari and the Mail app. They wouldn't be able to help in anything technical.
    So... is there another solution other than buying a plane ticket to go overseas and do it myself?

    In case anyone wonders, I was finally able to update my iCloud password ont he remote computer. The key was SSH.
    Issue this command to connect via SSH to the remote Mac:
    ssh remote_computer -L 5800:127.0.0.1:5900
    This forwards all traffic from port 5800 on your Mac to port 5900 (the VNC/Screen Sharing port...) on the remote Mac.
    Then open the Screen Sharing app from your Mac. From there, connect to:
    localhost:5800
    This will actually connect you to the remote Mac, even though your iCloud password is wrong on the remote Mac. Now you have GUI access and you can login into your account remotely and update the iCloud password on the System Preferences on the remote Mac.

  • How can I display the password expiration date for a user

    I have created a GUI (using PrimalForms) which runs powershel scripts to pull information like user ID, email address, last logon ec. for the helpdesk to help establish the validity of some user claims of "it worked yesterday" and the like.
    I have been asked to add the password expiration date, but I am struggling to get the code for this addition.
    Does anyone know how I can include this, and have it in a human readable format?
    The current scripts (there are 3) allow the helpdesk staff to search on user ID and display name, the third provides the last logon, it was impossible to include this in the other scripts so I added an extra search button and called it good. An example of
    these scripts is below (please note, PrimalForms needs a slightly different syntax in order to get the results displayed, but the core script is standard PS, I use Powershell 3.0)
    $results.Text=Get-ADUser -Filter "sAMAccountName -eq '$($EntryBox.text)'" -Properties DisplayName, sAMAccountName, mail, extensionattribute5, PasswordLastSet, PasswordExpired, PasswordNeverExpires, buMemberOf, telephoneNumber, msExchOmaAdminWirelessEnable, whenCreated, whenChanged, enabled, AccountExpirationDate | select givenName, surname, DisplayName, sAMAccountName, mail, extensionattribute5, PasswordLastSet, PasswordExpired, PasswordNeverExpires, buMemberOf, telephoneNumber, msExchOmaAdminWirelessEnable, whenCreated, whenChanged, enabled, AccountExpirationDate | Out-String
    $results.Focus()
    for info:
    $results.text is the window in the GUI results are displayed  in
    $entrybox.text is the text box the helpdesk staff use to input the user ID or display name of the account they are querying
    $results.focus simply tells the script to put the results in the results.text window
    The screenshot below shows the current setup, this is purely to put the above information into perspective. Obviously some of the information displayed has been removed/redacted along with our logo.

    Hi,
    Here's an example you can build from:
    $maxPasswordAge = 120
    Get-ADUser USER -Properties PasswordLastSet |
    Select SamAccountName,
    PasswordLastSet,
    @{N='PasswordLifeRemaining';E={$maxPasswordAge - ((Get-Date) - $_.PasswordLastSet).Days}},
    @{N='PasswordExpirationDate';E={(Get-Date $_.PasswordLastSet).AddDays($maxPasswordAge)}}

  • Apple ID and iCloud Passwords are Not the Same

    iCloud uses a different password to login than my Apple ID which I use for iTunes and everything else I do with Apple. Can I change my iCloud password to match my Apple/iTunes ID or will that cause problems like those I've seen noted on forums? OR, is it a good idea to keep the passwords different since my Apple & iTunes ID is connected to my credit card?
    Note in Case this Applies: I am running iTunes 11.1 on my MacPro in OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and will upgrade to Mountain Lion in October and then Mavericks when it arrives (if stable). I am about to install iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s (64G) and iPad 4 (32G).

    Can I jump onto this discussion with a similar problem.
    I updated the OS on iPhone 5 and Ipad to get the latest security updates. Since then I cannot access my icloud account. I have tried changing the password and get to the point were I am sent a verification email and advised to;
    "Check your email and look for a verification email from Apple. Click on the Verify Now link and sign in with your new Apple ID and password". Unfortunately there is no "verify now link"
    Consequently I can no longer access my account. Any ideas?!

  • HT204053 Seems my iCloud password is not the same as my iTunes.  Where do I go to reset my iCloud password?  I cannot access anything when prompted to put in my iCloud password because I do NOT KNOW it.  Thanks!

    Seems my iCloud password is not the same as my iTunes.  Where do I go to reset my iCloud password?  I cannot access anything when prompted to put in my iCloud password because I do NOT know it.  Thanks!  I've used my iTunes password for everything else Apple does and would like to use the same one for my iCloud.

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
