Why does my password keep getting reset?

I find that about 2-3 times a week, my password to my account stops working. I have to regularly reset it. Has that happened to anyone else, and any idea as to why that would occur?

I haven't heard that so far as. How much i am aware there was a password revok that happened with some users few weeks back. But that should have been fixed by now.
Try resetting your password once again and let us know in case you face the same issue in future.

  • Password keeps getting reset.

    Hi there.
    I've had my password been reset about 20 times in the last few months, not by me. I keep getting emails saying that my password has been reset without my consent. I've changed the password back every single time, each time making it increasingly obscure. I've also changed all my security questions to almost impossible to guess answers even by my close family.
    I'm now starting to believe that somebody is either hacking my account or my computer has contracted some sort of virus.
    This issue is making me absolutely livid. It's a real nuisance.
    Any suggestions very welcome.
    Charlie.

    I'm assuming that you're talking about your Apple ID password? Most likely, these e-mails either represent a phishing attempt, in which case there's nothing to be done but send them to your junk mail folder, or someone is repeatedly trying to reset your account password. To rule out the latter, enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID, which will prevent any password reset attempts without providing some additional authentication.

  • Why does my password keep changing?

    My apple Id password keep changing every 2 days. How do I prevent it?

    Do you share your Apple ID with anyone else? If so, could they be changing it? Your Apple ID password does not change on its own.

  • My password keeps getting reset

    Nearly every day now my Apple ID password gets reset. I had some problems with my security questions being changed so had to ring up Apple to sort it. I don't have another email which I'm guessing will stop this? I'm running out of passwords to have.
    Help :(

    This explains it. Too bad apple hasent said much

  • Why does my iphone keep getting disconnected from Wifi?

    My laptop has no issue staying connected to my wifi, but my iphone 4 keeps getting disconnected. I connect to wifi then a few seconds later, it disconnects for some reason. My lapop doesn't seem to have this problem, but my iphone has been having this issue for some time now. I cannot load anything on my iphone because of this. I'm unable to go online for more than 3 seconds at a time, literally. HELP! I've resetted my network settings, forgot my network, and renewed lease on my settings, but I still haven't found a fix.

    You are in a bad service area. Maybe you should think about switching carriers. Having bad service is not an iphone problem.

  • Why does iTunes Match keep getting stuck on Step 1?

    I realise there are already countless threads on here from people with the same problem but none of them seem to be able to help me. I've recently renewed my iTunes Match subscription after many months but it keeps getting stuck nearly halfway through Step 1. The bar gets so far and then stops for ages.
    I've tried all sorts of things: Stopping and starting the match, deleting my iTunes Library.itl file (which just creates even more problems with my library, so I have to put it back to normal with a backup), signing in and out of iTunes Store, closing and reopening iTunes, restarting my PC, deleting duplicates etc. None of them is solving the problem.
    In case it's relevant, I've got Windows 8 on my laptop and my iTunes library is based on an external hard-drive I've got connected to the laptop by USB.
    If there is any definitive answer to solving this problem, can someone please help me ASAP?

    i'm having the same problem. it's been in step 1 for two days. I tried stopping it and nothing. please let me know if you had a solution on this issue.
    thx

  • Why does "Baskerville Regular" keep getting turned off?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, Baskerville Regular -- the font used by the Dictionary (V2.2.1/156) -- keeps getting turned off.  Result: when I open the Dictionary, all definitions etc. appear in bold.
    All is fine if I open FontBook and turn Baskerville Regular back on again -- until I restart.  Then I have to do it over again.
    The problem is on a per-user basis.  If I turn the font in on my account, stay logged in, and log in from another account, the font is turned off in that account.
    Something’s turning it off.  Anyone know what?
    Thanks

    It is probably related to your other post about being dropped off from the internet.

  • Why does my storage keep getting filled after deleting everything?

    my storage keeps getting filled after I delete most of my apps, photo, etc. Im pretty sure it had something to do with the new update because it was fine before. please help its really bugging me and I cant even go on some of my apps because I don't have enough storage

    While it's normal for your charger to feel hot due to its function, sometimes there's too much heat.
    If your charger becomes so hot that you cannot touch it or you note a strange smell, your charger is malfunctioning and should be replaced.
    A charger that malfunctions could damage the iPad battery, which also may need a replacement.

  • Why does my password keep resetting?

    I have reset my password 3 or four times in the last 24 hours. It keeps saying the password I generated last is incorrect. Little help?

    This is SUPER FRUSTRATING that I have to come up with a new password every 3 weeks!

    Thank you,

    You're having to reset your password because, by your own admission, you keep forgetting it.
    You don't have to make up a totally new password each time.  Simply come up with a strong root password that you can commit to memory (for example, if your favorite saying is 'A stitch in time saves nine' and your favorite number is seven, then use something like 'Asits9s3v3n').  Then, for whatever service you're using your password for, add two letters to the end.  Like for eBay, add 'eb' to the end.  Then add '01' to end of that.
    Then, whenever you're prompted to update your password by a website or service (some require a new password every three months for example), simply increase the '01' to 02'.
    In the above example, that's a 15 character password, which is very difficult to guess or 'hack'.  But since it uses a system that you can commit to memory, and it's going to be slightly different for every website, and you don't have to come up with a totally new password each time, it's very user friendly.  And as far as 'writing down' your passwords, all you have to write down is the last two digits for each website.  So, my password list at home would look like:
    Ebay 13
    Yahoo Mail 27
    Bank 36
    And so on.
    There are other methods as well, but with proper organization and planning, its easy to have secure passwords that you can actually remember.  Just be sure to not give out your root password or your system to anyone other than a very trusted friend/family member.

  • Why does my mail keep getting knocked offline?

    About every 5 or 10 minutes my mail gets knocked offline. The window pops up asking me to re-enter my password. I put in the password and ask it to remember, or I can cancel it. Same result about 5 minutes later it does it again. I have to go in to "get mail" to get back on line. My wife shares the same dsl line (thru a router) with her p.c. and is not having any problems.

    SBC is having problems with some of their incoming mail servers, not all.
    If you call SBC, they will tell you OS X and the Mail.app isn't supported and this is an OS X or Apple Mail problem only.
    Baloney.
    SBC's server problems are affecting Windows and Mac users with various email clients so you need to ask SBC when they expect to have their server problems resolved. Knowing what I've heard abount SBC, they will tell you it will be fixed sometime today which they have told countless other customers over the last several weeks. It appears SBC still hasn't resolved their server problems.

  • HT1560 If diagnostics says appletv is working properly, why does the install keep getting stuck on pairing with the computer then back to select resolution over and over.

    First gen Appletv suddenly stopped working from one night to the next. This has happened in the past once and the usual restore, reboot, etc, tinkering finally snapped it back into working quite unexpectadly. The symptom is, after restore when it gets to the screen to pair with itunes by entering the numbers in itunes, the number is briefly up on the tv screen and then quickly is gone returning to the select resolution page. This happens over and over with each try while the Appletv never shows up in itunes and the number box never appears either to pair the computer with the Appletv. It does the same thing with my intel macbook so I don't think it's the Imac. I have dumped itunes 10 and reloaded itunes 9 with no change in the problem. My IP scanner picks up that the Appletv is on our network as soon as it turns on. I have used wireless, which it finds and logs into, and ethernet which also has it finding my network. I can't test whether it is actually on the network by trying to play a trailer or something because it will not go past that pairing screen in the initial setup. Are the built in diagnostics reliable when they say your appletv is working correctly. The hard drive isn't making any exceptionally loud noise as it spins up. I am stuck with this unit because I use it with a G4 Imac running Tiger 10.4 for a video/audio jukebox at the bar. New ATV won't work with the Imac unless it's running leopard I believe. The thing runs like molasses already so attempting leopard which I don't have anyway would really make it crawl. I love a good mystery/problem but this thing is driving me crazy. If I just could know for sure what component inside was shot I would replace it. Could a hard drive boot up to a degree and then get stuck at one part of the install, or would it have to be the logic board, or something else. Bad juju in the house or something

    Had same problem this finally stopped it for me.

  • Why does my music keep getting deleted from my iphone while using itunes match?

    Ever since i started itunes match, gradually my local music on my iphone has been removing itself to be replaced with the icloud symbol. All the music is still there but it's removed locally. Today all my music was suddenly removed requiring me to re-add all my music by clicking every icloud symbol individually and it is driving me absolutely mad! What am I doing wrong?!

    Does the same thing happen if you use another set of headphones?
    If it does, there might be something in the headphone jack like lint, dirt, or something else. You might be able to get it out by connecting the headphones 5-10x or spraying compressed air into the jack.
    If it doesn't you might need to get those headphones replaced.

  • Why does the installer keep getting stuck but no error messages appear in the log?

    So as of I think recently, I've been having problems installing things. I'm using installer version 2.1.
    I found myself having to re-install a driver for my tablet awhile ago, and every time I tried to install it the installer got stuck in the 90%s somewhere. However, no error window popped up and when i went to look at the log, it didn't show any errors.
    I again encountered this same installing problem today when I went to install a newer slightly updated version of Java which would work on os x 10.4 and the installer got stuck at 99% again showing no errors.
    Help? I have no idea what the problem could be, I believe it's way beyond me.

  • Why does my Mac keep getting the bouncing file folder when I plug in in the UK? It's costing £100 each time to fix it.

    I can plug my Mac in to the wall at home and certain surge protectors, but for some reason and it's a costly thing to discover, but some surge protectors kill my Mac. I get the floating file folder with question mark and have to get the power strip inside replaced.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    It seems that you are experiencing some unusual problems with your electrical utility.  I suggest that you get in touch with knowledgeable repair facility technicians and get their advice regarding a proper surge protector or a regulated power supply.  Any electrical device that is subjected to extreme voltage spikes can be damaged.

  • Why does my audio keep getting out of sync?

    Every so often (Maybe once or twice a week) the audio on my computer goes completely out of sync. I can't watch videos or edit with fcp without trouble. It's been happening for probably a month. I use sound siphon occasionally (An application that ports system audio in as an input). Could this be the issue?
