Incorrect username/password on email

When I open email on my 4th Generation iPod Touch, it says username/password is incorrect, but I can still log in to my email on the computer and all my details are correct - help?

That means you have a setting beside the PW that is incorrect. See:

I am unable to store my username & password for email accounts.

this article was not able to help me:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/usernames-and-passwords-are-not-saved#firefox:win7:fx27
i tried the password manager settings, but did not see a list of sites in the exceptions list!
the "always use private browsing feature" is not checked off in my privacy settings!
the "clear history when firefox closes" feature is not checked off in my privacy settings!
i do not have password manager software embedded in my antivirus software!
the "remember password" prompt does not always operate!!! i do not always see this when attempting to log into my email accounts, especially if entering a new email address!!
any assistance you provide would be appreciated.

hello, websites can specify if browsers should be able to save username/passwords (through the autocomplete="off" attribute in the login form in the html source code) - this is often the case when a higher level of security is presumably required by those sites.
you can either [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords/ install an addon] or [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password use a bookmarklet] to circumvent this restriction.

Apple ID Problem with Incorrect username/password setup

Hello all,
I'm trying to help my sister-in-law with a problem with her Login details for Apple Store. She has no skills in this department, so she asked a friend (?!) to help her. Somehow things were done that allowed her to establish an account, altho frankly I am not sure how it was activated. She used her old email address at that time, which she has in the meantime replaced with a new address from another ISP. I managed to establish an ID using the new address, but she has an iPad registered under her old Apple ID.
Nothing was written down, and nowhere can I find an 8 letter password with the Capital Letter and Number system as required by Apple. The help questions which were established when compiling the old address can't be answered, because she didn't write down either the data, or the answer. From all this, you can judge that I'm frustrated at trying to do more for her.
I can't understand how, or if, one could cancel the old details in favor of the new. Or whether it might work if I "Restore" the iPad according to the instructions in iTunes when the iPad is attached, and try to register it under the new user/password I established.
We live very remotely, so popping into a local store for help is not possible. I've tried, with my limited knowledge, everything I can, but I've got nowhere. So, can any kind soul who might have had to go done this route, or who might have a possible clue to what I could do, perhaps help me out? I'll bet its staring me in the face, but as an old guy, my instincts aren't as sharp as they were.
Very many thanks to anyome reading this post, who might be able to give me some assistance.

Hi barrie,
Well, sounds like you have half the problem fixed. But for the original account, even though you can't remember the answers to the original security questions, you CAN contact Apple Support to have them reset them for you. Once they are reset, also reset the password to whatever the password on the new account is so they are seamless.
Also, on both accounts be sure to set up a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS with the Security Questions. This will prevent any issues down the road with forgotton passwords/security questions, and will allow you to recover in a much easier way than this has been.
But again, for the original account. You need to do the following:
1. Contact Apple Support, provide them with the Original Apple ID, and let them know that you need to have the Security Questions reset.
2. Once that is done, set up new Security Questions for that old Apple ID as well as a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS with those new Secuity Questions
3. Reset the Password on that Old ID to be the same as the one on the new ID (and keep it consistent - any time you change the new one, change the old one)
4. Sign into iTunes one last time with that old ID and use up your $15
Now, forget the old ID altogether except when you need to update the password to match the new one. Once you have done your final redemption, only the new Apple ID should exist for you. All apps and music purchased in the same iTunes Library with either ID will be able to be loaded onto the iPad. When one of the apps needs to be updated, it may display the old ID, or it may display the new ID - if the password is the same, it won't matter which is displayed for the update. Put in the password, and it will update.
Whatever you do - Don't delete the apps purchased with the old ID. Once you get it squared away it will just be like a "phantom" id in the backround. Not really used, but still associated with the apps purchased under it. As long as they all live in the same iTunes Library, the ID they were purchased under is irrelevant. The only thing that matters after that is the password (as explained above) for any updates.
For the iPads themselves, make sure that the new Apple ID is showing for the iCloud account. This is what ties the Apple ID being used to do purchases via the iPad.
I hope the info I have provided has helped, and that your trip to Canberra will be a success. Sounds like an all-around nightmare, and you have been a very patient and sweet brother-in-law to stick with this whole thing.
Best of luck, and do let me know how it all turns out! I would love a line from you as the adventure progresses!!!
Cheers,

A1 returning "username/password incorrect" messages on websites

I can't find other posts with this problem so I hope I don't show my ignorance here, but I can't believe I am the only one...
I recently purchased an IdeaPad A1-07 running Android 2.3.4. I attempted to update the system right out of the box, but the updater reported that I was up to date, so that should be set (I would think...). I downloaded the Netflix app from the Andriod app store (the A1 did not include it preloaded), and attempted to launch it. It launched fine into the login screen, but when entering the login info, the app returned a incorrect username/password error. I confirmed the info by logging in on through my PC to the Netflix site. I un-installed then re-installed the app with the same result. I then attempted to go to the website through the A1 browser and login there. Same result. Panicking, I attempted to use the A1 browser to login to FaceBook. Same result.
Here is the strangest part: I attempted to login to the same websites using the browser on my HTC Android Incredible 2 running Android 2.3.4, and was able to login in successfully to both sites.
Does anyone know what is going on here and how to fix it? This is a real deal breaker for me since I purchased this tablet specifically to use with sites like Netflix and FaceBook, and I really don't know what else to do other than to try to return it and get a refund. Please help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Success! The GO keyboard app pre loaded by Lenovo wasn't the problem, but the input settings (Auto Capitalization, display suggestions, auto complete, auto space and key correction) were. Display suggestions probably wasn't part of the issue, but its just plain annoying, so I turned that off as well. I suspect that one of the other "auto" features was slipping in a character or space or two behind my back. I turned them all off, and no longer have an issue. I suspect that it was only one of them, but I would have had to run multiple experiments to narrow down the culprit, and I really don't want to bother. None of those things help me more than they hinder me anyway.
Find the settings under: settings/language & ketboard settings/Go keyboard for Lenovo/input setting. Good luck!

Cisco 1921 CCP discovery error username/password

Hi,
I have some servers here that needed a more stable router than my WNDR3700 with dd-wrt could offer. I have never used the Cisco IOS before and am a gui lover by nature. After reading about the new CCP and its flexability I made the plunge. I have done the initial configuration via a serial connection. I gave the router its basic information and figured out how to turn on HTTP/HTTPS via the IOS. CCP pro is unable to discover the router due to a bad username or password. I entered in 3 different passwords during setup but never a username and password. I thought all I needed to do was to create a new level 15 username and password.
I found this command
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret 0 password
I tried to use the new user but I still couldnt discover the router when I use "show users all" I do not see the created user.
I have been at it for several hours now. I had hoped that with these new ISR gen2 routers I wouldnt need to learn to much of the IOS at once. Is this not the case?

Hi Dave,
Cisco 1900 Router should be shipped with a default configuration for you to able to discover the router with the IP address 10.10.10.1. However, if you have already changed the default config, the command you are using to configure a username is correct.
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret 0 password
You could be seeing an incorrect username password error on Cisco CP if you are missing the below command:
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
I have just mentioned the mandatory configuration on the router to be able to discover the router on CCP:
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret password
Router(config)# ip http server
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
Router(config)# ip http secure-server <-- for secure connection
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet ssh
Router(config-line)# line vty 5 15
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input all
Thanks

Password reset email being sent to an email address other than my id

Hi,
I am having a strange issue with password reset emails. I have two email addresses. Hypothetically [email protected] and [email protected] My apple ID uses the login id of [email protected] and has another account associated with it called [email protected] When I request a password reset it is sent to [email protected] I can't find out why it's sending it to this account that I don't see as being linked to my apple ID. At some point in the past I have must have had this email address, [email protected], associated with my account but don't see it anywhere. I can still access this email address and can still retrieve the emails but I will be losing this email address next year... I get all notification emails to my @home address - only the reset emails go to @work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Serialc

So an example of why this is weird if I was not clear. When I change my apple id phone numer I receive an email on [email protected], when I ask for a password reminder I receive it on [email protected]
I have tried changing my primary username/password to [email protected] and back to [email protected] to try and reset things - no change.

Suddenly can't connect to Yahoo email? "Incorrect username or password".

I thought I was past all the email headaches I've had with the X. Its certainly not a Blackberry...lol
Everything has been working fine for the last month and now all of a sudden it wont connect to Yahoo. I've tried removing the account and setting it up again. I've tried every different suggested setting. I got it to work and it synced up all my yahoo email and then an hour later it wouldnt connect again. The error message is "Incorrect username or password". I've entered the correct information.....trust me.
I am at wits end with this phone. The email problems have been going on since the Droid came out. Why hasnt Verizon resolved the problem?
Any suggestions as to what I can do to get my problem correct? I love the phone...but hate the email functionality.

Not a Verizon issue...a Droid issue. My bad...I see I stated verizon in the first post. I meant to say motorola.
You can search the internet and find many people have had the same thing.. I've had lots of problems with bellsouth also....and so have many others. I still cant , and never have been able to, send an attachment with my bellsouth account.. I had a Verizon Blackberry for years and never once had trouble accessing yahoo or bellsouth. I dont want to switch back. I think the Droid is a cool phone......but if I'm paying $30 for a data plan and need to get my emails I expect to get my emails.

Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would
you like to try re-entering your password?" I know the settings are right because the users mail works on iPhone,iPad,an windows machine. I have deleted entourage plist and also tried a new user same message appears in new user.

You have a number of things that will make this not work.
Your mailto link is not the way to go, take a look at this and it should get you on the right path.
http://www.paulgdesigns.com/learncontactform.php
On your action page, you can have it give the thank you message that you want. Having a seperate page saying they forgot to do something complicates matters more than you might wish at this point, and usually irritates people. however if you decide you want to go that way, look up "sticky forms". What this does is re-populate the fields when they have to go back to correct.
A better way would be to validate the information, you can use Spry if you want which is built into dreamweaver.
You also have in your html form this
enctype="multipart/form-data"
That is used for sending files, and since you are not, the form would not work, so you want to remove it.
Hopefully that will give you a starting point.

TS1307 "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". This message pops up when trying to mail photos from iPhoto. How do I fix it?

"The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." This message pops up when trying to send photos from iPhoto via Mail. I have tried reseting passowrds in both gmail and me.com

Thanks for helping Christeneau. You helped me too...eventually. I say eventually because I was puzzled by your 'What does it say behind "email photo's using"'?
I realised the problem was your incorrect use of the apostrophe 's', as in 'photo's using'.
I just could not make any sense of this sentence at all, until I realised that you meant to write, "What does it say behind "email photos using". What you employed was the possesive use of the apostrophe - a mistake that seems to have become endemic in english speaking nations during the last 10 years or so, brought on by the lack of understanding basic english grammar. This has come about because of sloppy teaching methods the world over - it's not really your fault.
It's quite simple: The apostrophe 's' should be used as the following examples show:
James's apple, the car's horn, the world's atmosphere. The one exception is 'its shape,' where there is no apostrophe showing posession because that construction has been used as an abbreviation to 'it is', as in 'it's'.
Plurals (more then one) NEVER have an apostrophe! E.g. CDs, eggs, biscuits, vehicles, UNLESS to show possesion - a CD's label, the biscuit's taste, a vehicle's colour.
Thanks again for you help.

Hello, Rileys128.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to receive mail on your iPad. Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue with your AOL account. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

X60T: fingerprint logon: Incorrect username and password

I recently changed my Microsoft Account password. Except now I can't login on the X60 Tablet using the fingerprint scanner. It just returns with an error message "Incorrect username or password."
Then it offers a dialog box with "User Credentials" as a title, a Think Vantage fingerprint logo and supplies a user name and an input line for a password.
The username is only my first name not the email address I use to login to my Microsoft account.   It's almost like the Microsoft Account and the Windows User account credentials are not one and the same. I can't find where to change it to harmonise the two.
I am able to tap on my MS account picture and type my password and log into the tablet that way.   Rebooting, re-enrolling my fingerprints have not worked.
Any, ideas on how to fix this?   Thanks in advance.

Jessica, Digital Editions does not require you to authorize your computer with an Adobe ID. This option is necessary to address concerns about some users' needs for privacy (for example, library patrons and minors). However with this option, protected items that you have already downloaded or will download later are tied to that particular computer and are not readable on other computers or devices. They also can't be restored from backup if the operating system is reinstalled.
If you don't want to authorize your computer you can decline at first launch of Digital Editions, in which case your digital content will belong to the computer, not a named user account. Subsequently, you will be prompted to authorize your computer whenever you purchase an eBook, although the prompt dialog box provides a"Dont ask me again" checkbox. Greetings,
miranon
BTW, as suggested above read the Adobe Digital Editions FAQ - http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/faq
