Asking for user verification in App Store?

When I do anything in the App Store, whether it's a free update or buying a new app, I am being asked to verify my user credentials, and have to enter the security code from my credit card every time. This just started happening over the past few days. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

27" iMac, 3.06GHz, 4 GB Ram, Mac OS X (10.6.4), Aluminum MacBook, iPad 64 GB, Iphone 4 32 GB, Ipod Classic, Nano, Shuffle

On your computer,

Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/59/wa/directToSignIn? wosid=3x0Yq9D3MWIT5jTNMhrik0&localang=en_CA


  1. Enter your Apple ID and password and Sign in
  2. Edit or verify your Apple ID and Primary Email Address


Go in Password and Security

Choose a new password.


On your iPhone

  1. Go in the App Store and log in with your new password.
  2. In some cases, you will need to verify your e-mail, but the button is not grayed out!


😉


This worked for me 😎

Same problem for me. Can't install apps without being asked for my password multiple times and then asked security questions. I changed my password as RaphaelDavid recommended, but still no luck.. My bf has same phone but doesn't have this problem.


If anyone has any updates let us know, very annoying :-( worried about the security of my phone now.

I still have the credit card veification code issue and i`m extremely unsatisfied and angry. I can not change the code neither download new apps nor update existing apps on my iPhone and MacBook. If i could just understand the problem to try to figure out a solution, it would be great.... But App Store keeps saying my credit card's veification code is wrong when it is not... I've tried those nonsense alternatives, but nothing seems to work!
