Iphone keeps requesting smtp password

I just set up a replacement phone today. Entred my mail accounts and everyting was fine until a few hours ago: I am repeatedly asked for my password
Error is " Cannot send mail-No password provided for "SMTP:[email protected] lLease go to settings and enter.
I have cleared existing password and re entered and still it will not send. I have deleted the account and still no luck. I am able to receive email as well as send form my mobileme account. Please advise. I am on iphone 4 3G OS 4.3.5

well they create a code lock for the phone for a reason... i think it's ridiculous , especially for those of us with very secure passwords ...
if someone finds your phone... there is a lot of private info in there...

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

Try a reboot:
To reboot your iPad, hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. If, during this process, a slider appears on the screen to power it off, ignore it and keep holding the buttons down.
Rebooting your iPad can solve a lot of problems. Once you do that, go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and make sure the correct, new password is entered in that account.

There seems to be a few bugs with iCloud Mail at times, so send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

No problem with this with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date.

I am unable to sign-in to my iphone4 to make purchases or update apps. There is no problem with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch when logging in to iTunes or Apple.com. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date. This very strange. Any suggestions how to resolve this problem as it is quite frustrating.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

Trying to setup a gmail account on the iphone, keeps saying the password or user name is incorrect, what to do next?

Lumia 800 keeps losing SMTP password for POP3/IMAP...

I have set this up three times now and it works for 2 or 3 days but then loses my SMTP password (smtp.hosts.co.uk).
Suggestions very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

I have had this issue quite a bit with the ovi mail. Butt your server address suggest a different email.
Do you have more than one email set up on the device? Does it have the same issues?

Iphone 4s keeps requesting Exchange password

I have encountered a problem with a couple of our iPhones when connected to our corporate Exchange server. iPhones (4s) were recently deployed to our user community. During the initial setup, all phones were able to connect to the Exchange server via ActiveSync. A couple of days later, 2 of our users reported issues with their phones, in which they were constantly prompted for the Exchange password. The users would have to hit cancel repeatedly to, so that they could use their phone. The users’ domain account passwords were not scheduled to be changed. The users re-entered their domain password on their phones. The phones were then working normally at that point. However, I was notified the next day that the problem reappeared. I deleted the users’ account information from their phones, and then performed an upgrade to IOS 5.1. I then added the account information back to the phones. Again, the phones were working initially, then the problem re-appeared. I had the user create new passwords. And again, they are still encountering a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be happening? It's strange these 2 phones are the only ones encountering this problem.
Thank you for your help.

I am not really sure if this will answer you question in one part of you post you say you can download free apps and in the other you say you can't but I will give it my best shot. Itunes (the app store) always needs up to date payment info either a credit card with atleast a dollar on it you wont get charged anything if the app is free this it just to back purchases. Or if you don't want to put you credit card info in you can just get a prepaid itunes card. Itunes will ask for your passcode every fifteen min. you can set it to ask for it every time you purchase something but every 15 min is the norm. Hope this helps.

Why does my iPhone keep rejecting my passwords?

iPhone 5 / OS 8.1.1
I changed passwords on two Gmail accounts and now iPhone won't accept the new passwords. Nothing I've tried has worked. Any suggestions?
Here's what I tried:
Double checking I'm inputting them correctly
Deleting each account and recreating them, but just keeps happening over and over
Closing Mac Mail and relaunchng
Shutting off my computer and relaunching
Creating yet another Gmail password, having that all check out and then using that, but rejected
I changed the passwords on my iMac and those work fine, the same two Gmail acts that iPhone won't accept the passwords for.

If you attempted to make a purchase when there were insufficient funds in the account, it may have been rejected. If you do not have enough money in the account now for Apple to process an authorization (usually 99¢, it will be reversed) to verify the card is valid and active, it will be rejected. If niether of those is the case and it still doesn't work, contact the bank. They may be refusing the transaction.

Not again! MacMail keeps requesting my password and rejecting it!

While composing an e-mail, my MacMail began repeatedly asking for the password for my second mailbox (different password than for primary mailbox). When I enter it, it keeps rejecting it. I tried the password for my primary mailbox, but it rejects that too. This is the second time this has happened! Yes, I'm pretty much computer tech illiterate! And yes, I'm embarrassed to say I can't remeber how it was resolved last time. If anyone can help, I'll save the instructions this time!

Unfortunately when he ran Keychain First Aid it showed there were no problems.
When I finished phoning him Mail was still requesting and rejecting passwords.
I have a feeling that whenever it has happened to me I have given up in despair only to find that a day or so later things are back to normal, which would suggest a temporary problem at the ISP's end.

Outlook keeps requesting my password

Whenever I start Outlook to check my btinternet mail it asks for my password. Even if I reinsert it asks again and won't send or receive email.
Only work around is to log into yahoo webmail then log out and then outlook works until the next time.
There was a log post which was closed as supposedly the issue had been fixed. Sorry to say in my case it hasn't.
I have tried various suggestions that have been posted but all to no avail.
Logged the problem with Yahoo Customer Care but no response despite promising to get back to me in 24-48 hours.

Yep same problem here, not been working on my iPhone for over a month and has now stopped working within Outlook 2010 since Saturday.
Very annoying to be honest especially considering the amount of people with the same problem, been with BT for 12 years and this is the only problem I've had so that's a bonus

Keeps requesting appleID password

I have ios 8 on a 5S - about once a day my phone will crash and then ask repeatedly for appleID passwords
this happened in a major way about 5 days ago meaning ALL my IOS devices (4 of them, one belonging to my wife) started asking for appleID passwords and refusing to recognise them until we turned on privacy for world time (a known glitch which apple STILL hasnt sorted) - even then there appears to be automatic resets to my profile on my wifes phone so she ends up receiving imessages meant for me.
We deliberately set up all the idevices so theres no family sharing or Icloud sharing of anything other than Find iphone
Anyone else had this problem, as well as the very lame battery power?
J

Just to clarify Icloud uses the correct Appleid to do the restore, but finds an incorrect in the Restore itself, which I cannot satisfy because the restored incorrect ID no longer exists!

Family share approval keeps requesting icloud password

I have Family Sharing set to require my approval when my daughter buys something from the store. Today when I try to approve items it keeps asking me to input my icloud password.
Sign In To Approve
Enter the iCloud Apple ID password for [icloud email]
When I put it in, the same dialogue box just reopens with no error message. Today she bought 3 songs. This issue arose and I tried to input my password to no success. I then went to Settings/iCloud and it asked for my Password and there it took. So I went back to the Family Share notifications and 2 went through but when I tried to approve the third it asked for the password again. I tried going back to the iCLoud settings but it doesn't ask for my password. I then actually reset my password to something new but that didn't help either.
I found this article about similar issues in the fall
http://9to5mac.com/2014/09/29/apple-woes-continue-some-reporting-icloud-down-acr oss-ios-mac-and-web/
And the system status says everything is fine right now:https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I did not sign out but as I mentioned I did reset the password. Signing out deletes everything from the device so I held off. It turns out that these folks tried it last fall when it hapened to them and it didn't work:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6569354
It also happens that the same thing is happening on my imac, so it's probably not a hardware issue.

My charter email account was working fine last night and now today my mac book pro keeps requesting the password and when I enter it, it still cannot receive mail?
