#Mac icloud keeps asking for password 2017 mac
I just can't get my Mac to stop nagging me for an error that doesn't exist. The passwords are fine, I can log into my computer with my new password, I can log into my AppleID with my new passwords on all my devices. That's why I'm hoping there's some plist or terminal setting I can invoke to just tell the thing to stop nagging me. I'm not using it for backup, not using it for Photo stream, nothing like that. Other than using the iCloud control panel to attach my AppleID to my Macbook for Messages and Contacts and Find My Mac, I am not really tied into the AppleID ecosystem on this computer. I don't see why the two would be connected to each other anyway. Unfortunately, I am not going to change my iCloud password to match my computer password as that's a security concern.
#Mac icloud keeps asking for password 2017 upgrade
The upgrade to Sierra did not resolve it, it's still bringing up that prompt. When I was on El Capitan it started only after I changed my computer login password. This problem existed before I upgraded to Sierra. I do not have AppleID setup to reset Administrator or FileVault password. Logging into iCloud after receiving this alert (using my iCloud password) shows no prompts or warnings or anything unusual. My iCloud password has been changed several times in an effort to solve this problem. Unfortunately, I've tried everything you've mentioned: During the macOS Sierra setup, there may have been a default setting or new feature added that was inadvertently checked or left enabled (most heightened security features are on by default in the Mac operating systems), which is why we are only now seeing this alert. I only bring this up because you mentioned that you changed the password for El Capitan, it is no longer the same, and this stated after you upgraded to macOS Sierra. Since the two do not match currently, it may be causing the alert. You may have some setting checked such as use Apple ID to reset Administrator or FileVault password. The last thing I can think of to check if nothing else has worked so far is to change your Apple ID password to match your computer login password. Once you change your password, please open this help article and ensure you go through the entire list, as any one of them may prompt for an updated password: What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password. If that does not help, or there are no alerts or messages when you log in at , it may be best to change your password while at . If you clear the alert or message that shows up while at, you should no longer receive any alerts on your Mac. Are there any alerts, errors, or any other messages? Sometimes we received these alerts when we are required to change an Apple ID password. Attempt to log in with the same Apple ID that is showing up when you click details on that alert. The first thing is to check your password. Click "Close" the next time you see that alert, then go to this link:. Hello plochner, Thanks for seeking help with the alert about your iCloud password here in the Apple Support Communities. How in the world do I get this box from nagging me every day? Is there a plist file or some preference I need to delete to make it stop bugging me? I don't have any issues with either password, they both work fine. I'm logged in fine to iCloud and my computer. I have tried to change my iCloud password to get rid of the box but nothing makes it go away, it pops up every few days and continues to pop up now that I upgraded to Sierra.
I believe the prompt started when I changed my login password to El Capitan, which is not the same password as my iCloud / AppleID password. Your password also protects access to data stored in iCloud. Finish Changing your iCloud Password Prompt / N.Īround every other day, I receive the prompt to "Finish changing your password":
