Why do I have to keep resetting my password?

Just two weeks ago I had to reset my password for unknown reasons. Tonight, I get on my desktop and my messages app is up and telling to put in my password. I entered my password and it told me it was incorrect. After checking my email, I found a message that said I changed my password; I had not changed my password. At that point I did change it. I then logged onto my iCloud on the desktop without a problem. Next, I go to my iPhone to change the password on it, and it won't accept it. What is the deal? This has happened at least several times just within the last six months. It's really getting old. Of course Apple support is useless because it is out of  30 days or whatever cheap help they give.

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.

  • HT204053 Why do I have to keep resetting my password?

    It seems that everyday I am being asked to reset my password.  My husband uses it for his computer and his iPad.  But he'll enter it correctly, and then the next day, his computer or iPad will ask him to enter the information and then it won't work.
    Why does this keep happening?
    Thanks.

  • Why do I have to keep resetting home sharing to work

    Why do I have to keep turning off home sharing and then turning it back on to watch movies from my mac mini to my tv via apple tv? I just bought apple tv brand new from the apple store yesterday. My mac mini also has the latest update.

    Hello jdebie,
    Congratulations on your new Apple TV!  I would be concerned too if I had to turn Home Sharing off and then back every time I wanted to use it.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

  • Why do I have to keep entering my password to check my email?ios7 ipad

    Ever since ios7 was released I have to enter my email password every time I go into the mail app on my ipad. I have multiple emails so I have to enter all of them every time. On my iPhone 5, the mail app doesn't give me a problem but the voice mail keeps making me enter my apple password.
    It's getting very old and I've started going to my desktop PC to check email because it's so annoying.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Why do I have to keep resetting my iPod classic 80gb?

    Hi all
    I received my black iPod classic 80GB yesterday (replacing one I had stolen, which until that point I had absolutely no problems with).
    I am manually updating this iPod, so am importing albums to my MacBook iTunes and then connecting my iPod, adding the music, and ejecting then disconnecting my iPod.
    If I then leave it for between half an hour / an hour (while importing another artist), the iPod does not respond to any key touches. I have to reset it before there is any life in it. Also, when I pressed play this morning to see if it was still happening, the first thing it did was show the Apple logo (as if it had just reset itself without my toggling hold or pressing down menu and centre for 6 seconds).
    Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong?
    Please help. This is very annoying!
    Chris

    Hi Patrick,
    I tried that last night, and unfortunately still had the same problem. I have now arranged to return the iPod in exchange for a replacement. Hopefully this was a one off! Thanks anyway.
    I'd be interested to hear of any other advice in case it happens again when I receive my replacement!

  • Why do I have to keep Resetting Network Settings

    Hi All,
    Hopefully someone can help. Every time I need to access emails when I'm out this iPhone fails me.  Today, I tried to access an email from a client which consisted of 2 words "That's fine".  The wheel thing spun round, and round, and round, and round....  6 minutes later it displayed "this has not been downloaded from the server".
    I tried in vain to re-load but nothing. The only thing that seems to work is to "reset network settings".
    This then means that my wifi settings at home now need re-inputting, as do the wi-fi settings  at 3 of my other workplaces.
    If I could, I would swap this for a Samsung or something.  It's a constant source of frustration and embarrassment ( when I'm with clients)
    I've had the **** thing replaced at the Apple store and I have phoned my mobile supplier t-mobile/EE ( don't get me started on them...) about 20 times and no-one can make this problem go away. I hate this iPhone.
    Can anyone here help me?
    Many thanks
    Granger

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Why do I have to keep resetting my router every time I ant to print wirelessly?

    Hi
    I've recently installed a new wireless router but now, everytime I want to print something, i have to reset the router for my printer to be picked up. It worked fine on the last router and I'm getting a tad frustrated lol. Any help would be gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Hello Sarah,
    I saw your post about having to reset your router each time you print, or else the printer is not being seen on your network. I can understand the frustration!
    I will gladly help you find a troubleshooting guide for this issue, however, I would like to please ask for you to respond to me with which printer you are working with, so I can find the information for you.

  • Why do I have to keep resetting Mozilla to stop slowness and popups?

    I have rest Mozilla several times lately, and things like unsolicited adobe flash update requests and betting sites keep popping up, plus the browser gets incredibly slow. Any ideas?

    Did you download Firefox from the official Mozilla site? Sometimes if you search on Google or any search provider, they sometimes have "Advertised links" which are sometimes Firefox bundles that have been slightly modified/shipped with malicious software.
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    If you did download from a different website and believe that to be the cause, you can report the link here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/fraud-report/
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer that you may not be aware of. First check your home page settings to make sure nothing was appended (if there is a | followed by another link, that tells Firefox to open another tab with that link):
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
    Also check your add-ons for any suspicious extensions:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
    Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. Usually malware comes bundled with other applications, so if you sort by date and see several applications installed at the same day, it may be easier to find suspicious applications that way.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software. A third party software could be modifying your Firefox preferences without your knowledge so hopefully scanning using one or two of these can eliminate any of the malicious files:

  • Why do I have to keep putting my password in to iPad in the last few days for no reason

    Over the last few days, every time I go to use my iPad 2 it asks me to put in my password. It did this over Xmas and I cleared out a lot of my storage and it seemed to stop. I have loads of space on device and in cloud and it keeps doing it. Is anyone else having same problem and what's causing it? It's really annoying

    It's often hard to determine the cause of the usage rights no longer valid. It happens when some sort of change is made other than those that are allowed. It can be due to font problems and other problems that Acrobat attempts to automatically fix.
    Adobe specifically prevent you from automating the process of extending documents with Acrobat.
