Strange iCloud Logs in Console

I’ve discovered strange logs in Console with regard to iCloud (sensitive data replaced by “…”). While some of them surely have been around for longer and are normal, others seem suspicious:


accountsd: Account changed: …@icloud.com (…)

accountsd: iCloud account changed ( oldAccount: …@icloud.com (…) newAccount: …@icloud.com (…) )

accountsd: Validation Record for …@icloud.com needs update

accountsd: Remove credential key: rpassword for account: …@icloud.com (…)

accountsd: The attempt to remove item for service com.apple.account.AppleAccount.rpassword and username …@icloud.com failed.


sharingd: Request info for …@icloud.com

sharingd: AccountForAppleID found account …@icloud.com (…)

sharingd: Reusing Account-cached altDSID and gstoken for …@icloud.com


I haven’t changed anything about my account, and even though it is stated that my account had changed, the alphanumeric strings of “oldAccount” and “newAccount” following “…@icloud.com” are identical. Moreover, old devices that I separated from my Apple ID years ago—iPad Air and iPhone 6 Plus, for example—suddenly reappear in the logs.


Most importantly, though, what’s the deal with removing the credential key rpassword?

Does any of this apply? Thanks to tygb...


When ever a iCloud Keychain is corrupted , the Mac user can't sign into Apple ID account from system preferences , yes he can sign in www.icloud.com either the best way is use an iPhone and sign in with same Apple ID and password used in Mac and generate a code from iPhone , I have observed sometimes incorrect suggestions are made using safe mode , new test user account or creating another admin account from users and groups ( this will never help ) .

sometimes , if read and write permissions for home folder , shared folder , guest folder or location services , date and time settings are altered , the user will not be able to sign .

If all of the solutions don't work first contact apple support and provide sys diagnostic report or log details , for the Mac user frothier end they have to erase the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS , archive installation is not suggested , as the system os is completely corrupted .
