Iphone 4 saves wrong password for mail accounts

Every time I put the right password in on my mail accounts and now my itunes acount in icloud the password changes to the same 8 letter password that is not the password.. it changes to this password for everything! as soon as I put the right one in and back out then go back in it changes the password back to the wrong 8 letter password.. what is causing this and how can I fix it? my mail won't send through sometimes and I cannot get icloud to to even work to back up files.. it has been like this for a long time, even before the new os 5.. I have done a complete reset, deleted the mail accounts and all that.. nothing has worked.. please help!

Hope you found an answer to this problem because I'm still having this problem!
..they ask to update your password and then it just reverts to this 8 digit mystery password?
What is the problem with these passwords?

  • Can you have different passwords for mail account and ICloud?

    Can you have different passwords for mail account and ICloud?

    Yes - you want to go under Notifications, Mail.   Set each acct the way you want.

  • Mail Account NO LONGER stores Passwords for Mail Accounts

    Since my last restart my mac mail accounts (.mac, company, etc) no longer STORE passwords for either the send or smtp receive... Anyone experience this before? I'm going to try and toss the mail pref files and even delete my accounts, but since it's happening to ALL of my accounts (5) at the same time I'm concerned that I'll be wasting my time until I fix what's gotten broken...

    Since these password are stored in your Keychain, try running Keychain First Aid on your Keychain via Keychain Access.

  • Rejected password for mail account...

    Hello.
    How can I remedy this ongoing issue of the Mail program asking for the password multiple times per week? (quite often, I'll have to enter it 20 times in the course of 5 minutes for it to actually get accepted).
    I'm amazed that this hasn't been fixed yet, but until that happens, how can I temporarily remedy it?
    This is the prompt that I get:
    The POP server “mail.comcast.net” rejected the password for user “alexguitar1”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
    thank you.

    Check out your Keychain Access (Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access). Two things you can do:
    1. check whether you have two or more keychains for your email account - ideally you should have one per mailbox. Delete any extra ones you don't need (check that the password of the remaining one is correct).
    2. Still in Keychain Access, select the Keychain Access menu and choose "Keychain First Aid". You cna verify and repair any Keychain problems here.

  • Password for Mail accounts.

    Hello everyone. Does anyone know how or in which location e.g. Library, Prefrences, I can find the password or keychain for my Mail accounts?
    Thank you.

    You add them in Mail->Preferences->Accounts->Account Information->select the account and they're stored in /Users/username/Library/login.keychain

  • TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

    I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

    hi guys,
    I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

  • Cant update apps. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it. i can download apps,music with present mac note book but not apps. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • My apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas?

    my apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas on how to override this issue?

    If you updated the old ID at one point to create your current iCloud ID, 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Failure of the BBID credentials will never wipe a BB. What actually happened was you incorrectly entered your user-created device-lock password too many times, and it then proceeded with wiping the device, as per the requirements of the security level accepted when enabling that feature. There is no way to stop it.
    Sorry.
