Keep changing my password for iCloud to verify my account?

Why do I have to keep changing my iCloud password for my iPhone to verify my account? That iMac doesn't have any trouble but my iPhone keeps losing the function of anything iCloud related. Changing the password seems to fix this but why do I have to keep doing it?
Thanks for any help.

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

    How come every time I change my password for iCloud, iMessage, Apple, it either messes up on my Mac or iPhone.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "messes up", but the most common reason to have trouble with one device after changing the password from another is that you have to actually go around to all of your devices and change the saved password for your Apple ID on each one if you change it on one of them, they don't update automatically.  If you change the password and don't change it on your devices, then they don't know the password has changed until you try to use them.

  • Mail keeps deleting the password for iCloud?

    Using mail on an iMac, mail will not keep the iCloud password and deletes it after it has been saved. It also keeps taking the accounts offline when I am trying to send e-mail frustrating! Why not just log onto the accounts as outlined in the preferences.

    Thanks for the reply but it seems that something else is also going on.
    When this little window appears asking for my password I am given the option to "cancel" but nothing happens if I click that box. I'm reallly given only two options: typing my password into that box or cancelling the MAIL program, shutting down my internet connection and then re-opening MAIL. If I do neither of these I'm frozen.
    If I restart the program I find two things. All accounts are off-line and my password has disappeared from Preferences?Account Information. If I re-type my password and click all accounts back on-line I'm okay.
    But what bothers me most is the removal of my password from Preferences. How could some failure to connect to the server be responsible for this? Couldn't the problem somehow be in the MAIL program? Maybe this problem is triggered by a failed connecion to the server, but how could anything like that affect settings in my program? If something happening out there in server-land could erase my password I almost feel like I'm being hacked.

    if go to Preferences/Account Info I see that my password has been removed. I have to re-enter it there and then instruct accountsto go back on-line(I have two accounts active adn it will always be only the password that had been challenged that is gone; the one for the other account is still there.)
    So, difficulty connecting to the server or not, ow could that effectively change settings in my program - that is, the password I have set in my Preferences. Whatever is happening is somehow corrupting the MAIL program.

  • How do I change my password on iCloud?

    I just bought an iPhone 4s. How do I change the password for iCloud?

    Michael,
    I tried this and iCloud would not accept my apple ID password. Question: I saw somewhere that to get all your mail switched over to the iCloud with an iPhone 4s you have to delete the me.com mail account you had previously. Is this correct?

  • I had to change my password for one of my Email addresses and now I can not get mail into Firefox.

    I had to change my password for one of my Email accounts ([email protected]) and now I can not get the mail to go into Mozilla Firefox and I don't know how to change the password in Mozilla to get the mail into it.
    I looked at how to change my password but the options you told me to use were not available. I clicked on tools then options but there was no sync tab or manage accounts either.

    The login.salesforce.com website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • HT4436 why do i keep getting a message that states "the user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect?

    Why do I keep getting a message that states "the user name or password for icloud is incorrect.

    Apple are currently trying to get less secure passwords updated. They require that your account passwords are at least eight characters long and contain both alpha and numeric characters and at least one upper case alpha character.
    You might try changing your account password to match these requirements.

  • Recently changed my password for mail, can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password and saying it's incorrect. Totally confused. 

    I Recently changed the password for mail, on iMac. I can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password, then telling me it's incorrect. Totally confused. 

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

  • HT2623 I keep getting an error message when I enter my password for iCloud IMAP server

    I keep getting an error message when I enter my password for iCloud IMAP server

    A number of users who have chosen to set up iCloud mail manually in the Mail application seem to encounter problems with continually being asked to sign in. This may well be a result of incorrect settings such as not setting 'Apple Token' for authentication under the accounts advanced settings.
    A more general approach to remedying such problems would be to turn off Mail in System Preferences/Settings > iCloud, checking the account has been removed from Mail (and deleting it if it hasn't), restarting and then enabling iCloud Mail again from System Preferences/Settings > iCloud. This will ensure the correct settings are used.

    Hello Martin,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iCloud account on your Mac.  I recommend signing out of iCloud first:

    Hello!
    On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.
