My yahoo mail keeps asking for my password, even though I entered it correctly.

after my mail comes up and before I can read any emails, the system goes to a screen asking for my password. I enter my password, go back to mail, and before I can read any mail, the screen asking for my password pops up again and does it all over again.

Check the connection settings.

  • The Age app keeps asking for my password even though I am a subscriber. The developer can't fix it.

    The Age app keeps asking for my password in subscriber content pages, even though I pay for subscription to access all areas. The Age can't fix the problem.

    Try deleting and re-installing the app
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
    Be a little more insistant with the app developer. If it his/her code after all.

  • Windows 8 user cannot connect to public OS X Lion share as Guest, keeps asking for a password even though the folder is public?

    As title suggests...
    OS X Mountain Lion public share works fine for Mac's but as a guest from Windows its adamant it wants a password. If I use proper credentials it will allow me in the public share from the windows PC but I dont want to add creditinatials it should be an open folder to Network (LAN) WORKGROUP users.
    OS X Guest account is set to "allow guests to connect to shared folders"
    The Public folder is set in "Sharing" as READ ONLY everyone.
    Mac's can access the share without needing credentials.
    Windows PC asks for Username and Pass (have tried Guest (no password) or just pressing enter (no details)

  • I am unable to connect to my WIFI.It keeps asking for a password and when i enter the password it says that is unable to connect or i have entered an incorrect password

    I am not able to connect to my Wifi. It keeps asking for a password and when i enter the password it either says Unable To Connect or Incorrect Password.
    This occurred only after installing a new Wifi router from Qtel (service provider). any assisyance is greatly appreciated.

    You should call Qtel technical support and ask for help.
    Where did you get the password that you are trying? What does it look like? (Length, type of characters)
    Do you know what type of security is being used? WEP, WPA, WPA2

  • TS3276 Mail keeps asking for my password. How can I resolve this?

    Each time I open Mail it asks for my password. I open Mail Preferences and save the password but it looks as though it is never saved. How can I resolve this? I can still access the mail account - I just dont want to have to enter the password every time I open the application.

    Who is the provider of this email account?  It can be very hard to distinguish between a PW prompt instigated by the Incoming server vs the Outgoing server.  What are the recommended ports to use for each from this provider?

  • Mail keeps asking for a password to a deleted account

    I haven't used Mail in a while. The last time was when I was trying out my free MobileMe trial. I just opened Mail, deleted the MobileMe account, and created a gMail one. Now every time Mail checks for new mail it asks me for the MobileMe password, even though the account has been deleted. I have been into the Keychain and deleted anything that looks like it could relate. Any suggestions?

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    Please open System Preferences/MobileMe panel -- what if any references to the prior MobileMe account do you find there?
    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, click on the arrows beside the name of the Outgoing Server, and choose Edit Server List. Then remove any reference to the SMTP for MobileMe from the list of servers if found there.

  • After installing Mt. Lion, Mail no longer asks for a password, even though I set preference for using a password.

    After installing Mt. Lion 10.8.2, Mail no longer asks for a password before opening messages, even though I tried to set preferences for using the password. Help!

    In Mail Preferences, Accounts item: I tried to delete the password (but that did not save). I got this idea from some Mail Help item that I cannot seem to find again. I cannot recall how I did it in Snow Leopard, but I had it set to ask for a password that was used solely for Mail. It would not download anything until I entered that password. Note: I am not on a network; just the single user of the MacPro. Thank you for any guidance you might be able to offer.

  • Mail keeps asking for a Password for an email I don't have

    When I was setting up mail I accidentally entered the wrong email.
    There is a box that keeps coming up, five of six times a day asking for the incorrect email's password.
    I went in to preferences and deleted the incorrect account, but the box still pops up throughout the day.
    Does anyone know how to make this thing stop coming up?

    Hi Seth,
    I'd check your Outgoing Servers to see if there are some old ones there...
    Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Outgoing Server (SMTP)>Edit Server list
    Highlight the bad one & click on the tiny minus icon.

  • Mail Keeps Asking For Keychain Password - Possible Solution

    Hi
    I am a Mac newbie and all was going well until I played around with the Keychain settings and then, despite putting everything on Keychain back to how it was, I kept getting requests from Mail to enter my password.
    Having tried every other solution offered by the various help sites and web forums (this problem seems quite common), I finally went for the deleting the mail account solution that (fingers crossed) has now worked for over a day, so I am posting it here in case it is useful to someone else:
    -     First I deleted the two keychain password references to Mail that were in the Keychain Access list (POP and SMTP) and made sure Keychain settings       were all back to how they were originally.
    -     Then I archived all my mail and mail folders - was easy to do and then reload again later.
    -     Then I deleted my email account; rebooted; went back into mail and went through the process of setting up my account again.
    -     Reloaded my mail messages and folders and tidied things up to how they were.
    -     Let keychain set up the mail passwords again by sending and receiving a test message to myself.
    Hey presto!  Everything now appears back to how it was, without those annoying requests for passwords for Mail.
    I am pretty sure this problem arose due to me changing the keychain settings, even though I put everything back to how it was (or at least I think I did!) it's almost as though there is a bug that makes Mail think the settings have not been changed back to "normal" again.
    Hope this help's someone (took me about half a day to fix this as all sorts of solutions are offered by the help sites and forums, but none fixed the problem until I went through the procedure above).

    Still, that was quite funny....!
    Erm, I'm still having this problem along with several others that have gone unanswered on here about why Mac Mail decides to keep all my trash, junk, sent, but clears out the INBOX every 5 or 7 days. No server problems, No settings changed... For a computer I bought to make my life easier, its sure making me work exceedingly hard for it. I'm this close to going back to Windows. DON'T LET ME DO IT!!!!!!!!! Helllllp!!!!

  • Keep getting asked for VM password even though I turned it off & don't use

    I do not like this latest update. When I switch from one area to another or when I'm in the middle of searching, I get a message "Password incorrect. Enter Voicemail Password." This is after I called AT&T and apple and deleted password usage from voicemail. It doesn't stop ASKING!!! Driving me crazy. That is why I don't use a PW because I don't want to have to click anything extra!!

    Not sure how Apple can delete password usage for visual voicemail access with the iPhone or has anything to do with that, and I wasn't aware it was possible to not have a password to access voicemail the old fashioned way by having to call to access voicemail.
    With the iPhone's visual voicemail feature, you don't have to click anything extra. The chosen password has to be entered only once. After that, it is automatic for visual voicemail messages to be downloaded to your iPhone from AT&T's servers and for listening to visual voicemail messages on your iPhone.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Mail keeps checking for new messages even though there are no new message

    I have a pop account that will not stop checking for new mail. The little circle that acts as the notification that Mail is receiving or sending mail will not go away.
    The folder also has messages that will not go away even after they have been deleted.
    I have logged into my mail server and deleted all mail stored on the server.
    I have trying using the rebuild option.
    I am not sure how to fix this?
    thanks for your help.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    What is your current version of OSX and of Mail?
    Was the Rebuild command available, and did you use it on this one Inbox?
    More info, please.

    It did, I took it off but that still doesn't help. I try signing into Yahoo, DirectTV and it seems like the password is not being sent; I just get the sign-in page again with the password blank. Thanks.
