Why do I have to constantly change my password?

About once or twice a week, my Iphone, Ipod, and Mac prompt me to look at iCloud to view the settings. This I dont know why, but when I have to enter my Apple ID Password to view them, it seems that my password isnt working anymore. I have to change it everytime I do this, dowload an app or song, or look at anything requiring a password because it keeps changing on its own. This has been happening since June. Any help? Thanks.

Okay, I have a question.
If the password doesn't work (because it has "changed on its own") then how do you get in so that you can "change it everytime I do this"??

    Why do I have to constantly relog my password when using this site?

    That's correct, regardless of browser used I could close my browser and not have to log in, but typically that only lasted for a few hours.  Something in the re-design seems to have made it such that you have to sign in each and every time to re-open your browser and come here.

    why do i have to keep resetting my password and my credit card info is gone

    Apple will never require you to change your password. However, if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on the phone your IT administrator can require you to change your password.
    Since you say your credit card information is gone also, it is likely that someone has hacked your account.

    The question I asked is not "answered," but for whatever reason Acrobat XI has settled down and is working normally as before.  Don't have a clue why.  I did not make any further changes in anything.  Thanks to those who read my question and pondered.

    when I try to go back a page on a spicific site, it won't allow it on firefox, I can on IE but seldom use it, why? I have made numerous changes to security and other settings but to no end. I can screen capture the event and send it to anyone, to see what is wrong. the capture says that the page expired and is no longer available and to resend it. however that happens immediately in time when trying to back up.

    My apple id keeps getting reset. I have had to change my password at least 6 times in the last two weeks and it has now reset again

    You probably are mixing up your password with passwords from other accounts. If i were you i would write down your password somewhere easy to acess and make it very hard to guess if you ever reset it.

  • Problems with my Apple id since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: you're password was reseted but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hackd

    hi everyone,
    since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: "you're password was reseted..." but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hacked ?
    Best regards.

    I'll add my problem to this list as it sounds similar. First a little background. This is a problem I think we will see from a lot of long term users, so here is my story. When .Mac was first made available I signed up and was given a new apple ID [email protected] At this point I already had an Apple ID that I was using for just music purposes (apps didnt't exist yet) but was told by apple I would have to give it up. They could not merge IDs and would not change them. The end result was getting a new Apple ID and having to redownload all my purchased music over P2P or burn it and  re-rip to remove the DRM. Fast forward a bit to a time when Gmail is getting bigger. I'm invited to try it out and I decide that I'm going to stop paying $100 for email, as I never really used he other features iDisk, photo sharing etc, and syncing contacts, calendars and mail was just as easy through gmail. Now years later we have iCloud. I have to sign in with my outdated .mac ID, at this point I have for too many apps/music/shows to drop that ID. When I sign in with that .mac Apple ID I get the automated iCloud message telling me my new email address is [email protected] However when I go to send email from my iCloud account it is using .mac as the sending address and the mail will not go through. I can't change it in the mail app or in settings. I'm kind of at a loss as to where to go next. I'm stuck with a defunct email address as a username that is more or less a key to thousands of dollars worth of content, and a new email address that won't function and nobody at Apple can press the right buttons to help clean it up. Some kind of system should be in place to change a user ID. Maybe once a year or once every other year. **** at this point I would even pay a one time fee just for my user name to be rid of that old .mac extension.

  • Why do I have to type in my password just to create a folder

    Why do I have to type in my password just to create a folder ! ?
    What can I do to eliminate this silly requirement ?

    If the enclosing folder is one used by Mac OS X itself, leave it as is.
    I appreciate your advice.   I don't know why I need to “leave it as it is” ?  I'm trying to create a new folder in the hard drive. (Done this for 30 years.)
    I did open the Sharing & Permissions section.  system =  Read & Write,   wheel = Read Only,   everyone = Read Only. 
    Should they all be, Read & Write ?

  • My iMac running 10.7.5 has suddenly developed the habit of asking for my keychain password every 10 minutes or so.  iTunes, mail and airport are the usual requesters.  I have not recently changed my password.

    My iMac running 10.7.5 has suddenly developed the habit of asking for my keychain password every 10 minutes or so.  iTunes, mail and airport are the usual requesters. It's making me nuts!  And no, I have not recently changed my password to start this new issue.

    Hello dowaco
    Try running Keychain First Aid on your keychain or just rese your Keychain to create another keychain to see if that resolves the issue of the repeated prompts for the password.

  • Why do I have to continually change my Apple ID password?

    This is really starting to get me down… The last time I was prompted to change the password was about three months ago. I've just been asked to do it again this morning. This is a real pain because I have to re-enter the Apple ID password now on all my devices in various parts of the system. I thought Apple ID passwords were permanent?

    It could be something that needs to be fixed by Apple since there are other reports. I don't use that feature on my 5s so I can't comment. I wouldn't think you have to enter your password over and over. And since there doesn't seem to be any documentation from Apple other than below from this URL, who knows.
    Your fingerprint can also approve purchases from iTunes Store, the App Store, and the iBooks Store, so you don’t have to enter your password.
    Also, see here which also mentions the issue and that Apple recognizes it as an issue to be fixed.
