Incorrect user name or password

My email works for almost a full day, then loses its settings and gives the error " incorrect user name or password."  Re-booting doesn't correct the problem.  I have deleted my mail account each evening for the last 3 days and set up a new account.  It works for most of the next day and then quits again. Please help.

Just out of curiosity, who is your mail provider?  Yahoo, aol or hotmail?

  • Incorrect user name or password Again !!!!!

    I can connect to my email through windows live mail on my desktop but once again every hour or so for the last 3 days on my android tablet or phone I keep getting "incorrect user name or password" on 3 different email addresses.   I fill in the box with my password and off we go for about an hour then the same happens. I can log in to bt yahoo mail on the web with no problem when this happens but not with the email client installed on my tablet or phone. This happened about a month ago for a week then stopped and I had several episodes last year. Can someone tell me what's going I haven't changed any setting or anything and now I am gettig sick to death of it !!!!
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)

    If you could access your email via webmail on a browser the "idiot"should have told you there was nothing wrong. All BT agree to provide is email via webmail. They provide the settings to allow you to use email clients or apps but they do not support this method of accessing your email. This is in line will all other ISPs. There are far to many email clients and variables over which they have no control for them to be able to provide solutions for every email client on the market.
    As you have found, usually when the problem you starts and provided you can still access it via webmail, the best thing to do is leave it alone and it usaually sorts itself out in a day or so.

  • My iPad email says incorrect user name or password but it has always worked as it is set up

    My iPad mail is not receiving mail. It says incorrect user name or password but it is the same as it has been since I got my iPad. The server connection is ok as I can get email through the internet.

    Hi Barry,
    This is a little odd, so from what you've said nothing has changed at all on your iPad?
    Are you able to access your email account via webmail, for example I have a GMAIL account and can access this via www.gmail.com if so can you login there using the expected credentials?

  • Incorrect user name or password on nook, even thought i know it's not?  can't read books on nook because of it...

    can't figure it out.  i know i'm using the correct credentials.  but when i try to access my book on my nook, it's saying that my user name or password is incorrect.  i've even changed my password online to try to affect it, but to no avail..

    I'm having the same issue.  I am able to read library books through overdrive on my tablet and side load titles from my husband's account, but I am getting this error on a book I downloaded from a website.  I hope we find a solution!

  • Keep getting Incorrect user name or password when Binding

    I have 24 eMacs at my school and I'm trying to setup a server. When I try to bind, it goes through the 1, 2, 3... then gives me an error message. How do I fix this?? What password and user name do I enter, the clients or the servers password?
    Is there anything else I need to do to connect to the server?
    Thanks.

    Hi David,
    Are you using DHCP on your OSX Server?
    If so you can simpley check the 'add dhcp supplied servers...' box in Directory Access > LDAP config on your clients. Make sure you enter the LDAP info for DHCP service on your server.
    Otherwise, are you sure the password server is running correctly on your server? You can check the server logs to see if there is a problem. It needs port 106 to be open... are you blocking that port with your firewall?

  • Incorrect user name or password for this Audible file.

    I am entering correct password

    If the device has iOS 7, then Activation Lock has kicked in and until you recover the original AppleID, it is basically bricked out.  See if you can reset the old ID thru here:  https://appleid.apple.com
    Else you will have to contact Apple Support and have them help you.

  • TS3899 Suddenly on both my iPhone and iPad I cannot access my AOL mail. They tell me my user name and password are incorrect.  Yet, I have no problem with other devices in accessing.  I have deleted and reinstalled my account information etc.  Any ideas?

    Suddenly on both my iPhone and iPad I cannot access my AOL mail.  It tells me my user name or password are incorrect.  Yet I have no trouble accessing from other devices.  This occurred randomly in the middle of the night.  I'd done nothing different or unusual.  I've tried re-starting both devices, tried deleting and re-installing my account information.  Any suggestions?

    Hmm... looks like this is an issue for that email provider for some reason.
    A user in a bt.com forums recommends turning off Push Emails settings.

    Coudln't hurt to try it and see if the issue resolves itself.

  • ICloud "User name or password is incorrect."

    iCloud has been working fine.  In fact, I backed up on it a couple of days ago on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad2.  Now, on both devices, when I tap on iCloud in Settings, I get "User name or password is incorrect."  I know they are correct, because I used them to log in here and to update Apps today.  It seems that Apple is having problems and is a bit overloaded right now, but I was wondering if the community has found solutions.  Anyone?

    Ok I had this same problem and I fixed mine so I think I figured it out. What I did is I went into Settings---->iCloud and then deleted my account. Once I did that I went back into settings and created a new account by logging in with my old AppleID (Which was the one I wanted in the first place which is the one I use for store etc...) and then I backed everything up and now everything is in sync and works fine with the RIGHT Apple ID that I wanted and I get no incorrect user name or password incorrect message anymore.... Hope this helps...

  • Cannot send email user name or password is incorrect

    I have an iPhone 3Gs with 6.1.6 iOS software and gmail. Until last week I could receive and send emails on my phone. Last week I tried to email a photo from my iPhone and received the following message "Cannot send email the user name or password is incorrect".  About 30 minutes later I received an email message from google accounts with a sign-in attempt blocked message.  Since then I have not been able to send an email from my phone.  Every time I try to send an email I get the "User name or Password for Gmail is incorrect" - message.  I changed passwords but that didn't help. I can receive emails on my phone but I can't send them. The only way I can send email is by clicking on the less secure apps button on the google accounts settings page..  Why do I get this message now and how can I get gmail working on my phone like it used to?  If I delete my gmail account does it just remove it from the phone where the same account can be reinstalled or is it completely gone for good?

    Hey YodaObi,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are not able to send emails but are able to receive them. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

    Hi
    I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

    I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
    Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

  • My ipad receives email with the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message is "user name or password for ........is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad didnt help.

    My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad did not help.

    I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message.  I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message.  Is there some trick to this?  Very frustrating!
