Passwords are not typing in securely

When I type my password into my iPad, there is a lag before each letter or number becomes an asterisk; the digit actually shows up on the screen and then disappears. This also happens with other passwords I use for various functions on my iPad. Clearly, this is a security hazard, as anyone looking at my screen would be able to see each digit of my password for a second. Of course I am going to ask Apple about it but I wondered if anyone else has had this happen?

  • Passwords are not working on any sites?

    Hi
    I'm stressing...........
    For some reason my passwords are not working on anysites. I've tried about 4 or 5 different sites now all with different passwords.
    Does this mean there is some sort of malware installed somewhere?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
        2.    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
        3.    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • I receive an error stating user name and password are not valid on my ipad and iphone 3Gs when attempting to load email from my icloud account. When I log onto icloud from my Mac, it wont load the email either.

    One day, my ipad and iphone pick up my emails (.mac account) from icloud just fine. the next day, I recieved error messages that say my user name and password are not accurate. I removed the icloud program on both devices and added it back on to both devices and get the same message. I logged into icloud from my Mac and while I can log in, it times out when I select email and wont load the email there either. Any Suggestons?

    I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
    I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
    iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
    iPad -- Same
    Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
    icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail.  When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
    I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode.  They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
    I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am.  Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage.  I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
    Hope this helps...

  • FTP login and password are not saved on some sites

    On some of my sites the FTP login and password are not saved
    (even though the "saved" box is checked). Dreamweaver 8.0 on XP
    SP2. I can export the site information and then import the same
    file exported and there still will be no login or password placed
    in the login or password window. I opened the exported .ste files
    in notepad and found the login correct and the password incorrect.
    I uninstalled Dreamveaver and reinstalled still same
    problem.

    Ok, I just spent about 3 hours on this. Here's the latest
    that I've found. I had looked at the knowledgebase and my registry
    matched what was suggested. As this has been an ongoing issue for
    me, I thought it was still an issue. Apparently 8.02 did have some
    improvements.
    I can only guess that many of the 36 sites I have in the Site
    Manager lost info before the .02 update.. or I hope so.
    I did however discover that there is still what could be
    considered a minor bug. I went in to Manage Sites and selected edit
    for all of my sites, fixing the ones that had lost their user/pass
    info. I'm not positive, but I think only the last edited site kept
    it's data.
    I discovered after many checks on all the sites, over and
    over and over, that it appears that they are now holding the data,
    but, if I add the user/pass, I must not only click the OK button to
    close that particular site, but I must also click the 'Done' button
    before only that one will be saved.
    So, I thought I was fixing logins when in fact I was only
    fixing one at a time.. Completely closing 'Manage Site' seemed to
    hold one new set of login data each time. Seems that it shouldn't
    be this way.
    But I must say, I am rejoicing at the moment, as I actually
    have all my sites set up with FTP info and I am now looking forward
    to hopefully adding more and maybe they'll actually be available
    for the next editing session.

  • For some reason my back button and refresh button dosent work,,,also my passwords are not saved in my craiglist windows

    i just had some update today didnt really read it it was with mozilla so i just installed, now my pages were the wrong sizes and the toolbar with the backpage and refresh dosent work also my passwords are not being saved on my craiglist page

    Don't worry about the time, as it took us a while to get it done. I learned a few things along the way, about Button Layer Set order, and what happens, once the Menu has been Imported.
    Most of it will not apply to your original questions, at least not as I read them, but might prove useful in time.
    Good luck, and happy reading...

  • Mail passwords are not saved to the Keychain

    This problem seems to relate to the long standing Mail Password issue that has been frustrating many Tiger (and Panther) users.
    Firstly: Mail keeps asking for account passwords in an unpredictable way. Even if I "save these to the keychain" via 'allways allow', I still get the prompts for mail account passwords after waking from sleep or later in the day.
    Secondly: Keychain hasn't stored the passwords at all anyway.
    Thirdly: 'Mail Preferences' doesn't store my account passwords. I re-enter them and they don't show up in the password box.
    This has cropped up since the latest set of security updates in Tiger.
    I have done the following.
    Repaired disc permissions.
    Run Keychain First Aid.
    Re-entered the passwords into Mail Preferences on numerous occasions.
    Run Cocktail utilities to clear caches/rotate logs/ just about everything.
    My Mail is set to send/retrieve every minute. I have re-set this to every 5 minutes, but all of the above problems still apply.
    I am on ADSL broadband via a NetGear router, wirelessly through Airport.
    I think I am correct in assuming this may be a bug in the way Mail handles server traffic but whatever it is, it needs help!
    Nicholas Down

    ok guys, I found out how to fix this.
    First way (harder way):
    1. Open the keychain access application that rests inside your utilities folder.
    2. Push the "Show Keychains" button on the lower left, if your keychains are not visible
    3. In the menu item "file" pick "New Keychain"
    4. Name the new keychain and pick a password
    5. Mark your new keychain and pick "Make Keychain "your keychain" Default"
    6. Pick "Change Settings" from the "Edit" menu and uncheck everything.
    Voilá!
    Alternative and much simpler way:
    I found out that my old keychain simply was not recognized because the extension was removed. So, if you still have your old keychain file saved in the appropriate folder (your user folder(home)->library->keychains), simply add ".keychain" to the name. Open Keychain access to check if it was recognized or not.
    Worked for me.
    Good luck!

  • My wife has bought an iPad from a friend. My wife has an iphone with an iCloud account. When trying to connect to iCloud from the new iPad it says her username and password are not authorised. Any help

    MMy wife had bought an iPad from a friend. My wife already has an iPhone, which is registered to iCloud. She cannot acces iCloud from the new iPad. It says her username and password is not authorised. What do we need to do.

    This could be a couple different things.
         The device is not authorized to the Apple ID.
             Continue setup for the ID on the device.
      There is an account issue
            Is she able to get signed in at
                   Appleid.apple.com
                       and manage the account
    Can she get signed in at
      Supportprofile.apple.com  ?
             How many devices are registered to that Apple ID?

  • Changes to password are not reflected immediately in the application

    Hi All,
    If I change the password either from the console or through the application
    itself, the change are not reflected immediately. They are reflected when I
    shutdown both the admin server and managed server and bring them up. I think
    the previous password is cached somewhere. If so, how to refresh it. When I
    am changing the programatically ie using
    User.changeCredential(oldPassword,newPassword);
    I am refreshing the realm by using RealmMBean.refresh() . But it is not
    working. Right now i am using default file realm. Can anyone tell what i
    am missing here
    Thanks in advance
    Suresh

    Suresh,
    If your custom user extends DefaultUserImpl then you can update the password
    in that instance within the method User.changeCredential(...) as
    Construct the userinfo object with the old password
    Authenticate the user against the realm with the userinfo -- returns the
    customuser
    customuser.setCredential( ** new passsword**) (setCredential method of
    DefaultUserImpl)
    update the file/database
    Hope this works.

  • Unable to set parental controls on itunes b/c my username and password are not correct.  How do I reset them?  There is no prompt to give any clues what they are.

    unable to set parental controls on Itunes b/c my user name and password got rejected.  How do I reset them or figure out my username and password?

    This is a user to user support forum.  We are all iphone users just like you.
    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
    "it's too fragile"
    No it is not.  i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
    " U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
    No you don't.  Why do you think this?
    "and there is no customer support!!!  "
    Wrong yet again.  Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
    "but I will go back with Blackberry "
    Please do.
    Good ridance

  • I was experimenting setting up parental controls on my macbook pro and selected to set up my current account with controls.  Apparently my admin name and password are not what i thought, because now I cannot unlock them.

    I thought my admin user name and password were the same I sign on with, apparently not because now I am locked out of my own computer.  I took two hours to reload mavericks from ap store, because i was told it would give me the option of changing the password. It did not. Sooooo, that's where I am. Thanks for any help.
