I HAVE THE RESOLUTION. after experiencing this issue myself where the apple watch is requesting a password and you enter the password from your apple phone but then never receive the verification code this is what you need to do. Yes, It is because many of us have 2 apple IDs (1 for personal associated for you only "1st ID" and other possibly used for itunes and app store for family "2nd ID"). On a device (you decide) .. sign out of the apple id associated with your personal and sign into the one that the APPLE WATCH is asking for. This is a temporary sign out ... after you get the verification code to the 2nd ID then you can sign back in using the 1st ID. I have multiple devices so I signed out and back in using a secondary phone that I have. But you can do this on an IPAD or Macbook also. I would not do this on your primary phone. Once you sign in with the 2nd iD .... go through the verification steps on the WATCH again. This will now send the verification code to the device you used to sign into with the "2nd ID". Get that verification code, use it to verify the watch. Then go to the app store icon on the WATCH and choose any free app to download and make sure it downloads. Wait 5 minutes to confirm that you are no longer receiving this message on the watch anymore and then go back to that device you selected to now SIGN OUT using the 2nd ID and sign back in with the 1st ID.
These steps should save you 2 hours on the phone with TIER 2 APPLE Support.
TIER 1 apple support will not be able to fix this issue. If you call apple support, you need to specifically request TIER 2 support.
Be blessed and pay it forward!
I seem have the same problem. I think you are correct. Somehow many years ago, I created an account with another non-Apple email. But later I created an icloud account an Apple email. Now I am getting a message to sign in to icloud to the non-Apple email.
I don't even have an icloud account with that email.
Did that fix it? I’m only getting the request for the one ID and then it’s saying the password is wrong and can’t verify the account but when I go to a laptop to sign in using that same info, it’s correct.
and it took three logins and a return to Google to get to this forum. When I went in thru Apple Community, this discussion was not available from search. Apple needs to get their s(*& together and concentrate on current user services and not sales, sales, sales
This is annoying. I have a similar situation (two accounts). I erased and reinstalled everything last night. Still getting the "sign in" prompts. Now up to 8 or 9 times. Not wearing my watch today. Really frustrated with Apple on this.
I changed the password for my apple id on my iPad, iPhone, and Mac laptop. My iwatch 3 with cellular keeps asking me for my apple id and also for a verification code, at least some of the time. I do it and a little later, it asks again. How do I fix this issue? I don't have multiple apple ids. I didn't have this problem until I changed my apple id password.
I submitted a report last Friday and got a case # 100935797374. It said it would call within 2 minutes but no on called. I’m going on 2 weeks with my watch constantly asking to enter my Apple ID password. I’ve tried everything that people have been suggesting and nothing works. Help!
Apple, if you're listening, fix this bug! Super annoying. My HomePod listens to me. Perhaps I should complain to Siri instead. I've tried the fixes mentioned here. None work. I'm not wearing the watch now. I'm prompted at least 10 times every time the watch and iPhone connect.
This is really frustrating, as soon as I reconnect my watch or it goes into my home Wi-Fi area it seems to want my ID and password about 60 or 70 times and I’ve been counting them. It won’t let me put my Apple ID in using the Apple Watch app, as the Apple ID is deemed and won’t let me select it in the Apple Watch app What happens, is it asked for the same ID twice very quickly then waits for about five seconds and then asked for it twice again up to about 60 or 70 times
It happened to me too! I had the other ac very long time ago and I don't even remember the password.
Besides my apple watch and other devices are using the main ac. I have no idea why it is keep asking me for the password!
It really drain my watch's battery as well as it keep popping up.
I am having the same issue, I just updated my series 2 to 6.1. I only have one apple account so that is not the issue. I can hit cancel and it will stop for a few hours but if I go to my phone I can see that I am signed in with the apple watch with my correct account but it will not let me re-sign in or sign out and back in. There are just no option that I can see
Wtf is going on. My watch keeps asking me for Apple ID. Write it in. Says it’s wrong then tells me my sign in is being used in all manner of places. And sends codes to my phone. Apple please get this sorted ASAP. Is very frustrating. Even changed my password just in case.
Thanks. I happened across same last night just before the hammer. Now iPad doing same and keep getting location map, telling me I am at these locations an d whether to allow. Have, just to get the code. Apple need to sort this out swiftly
Along with the others, I have the same issue.
i went to see an Apple Genius who had no other suggestion than to unpair and then re pair the watch to the phone.
Didnt work.....
I have tried all other suggestions listed to date and they have failed also.
Solution, walk to your nearest river or large body of water and toss it in. It may sound a little drastic but after the initial remorse we can all just move on.
No. Like others here, I have two accounts. Originally, I didn't want to use my @me.com address in case the account was compromised. Now I can't delete the second account.
I've tried most of the solutions proposed here. Deleted everything and set up Watch again. Finally was able to see the codes on my phone. But I got an error message on the Watch after entering.
I've been busy. So I can put up with two alerts every time my Watch connects to the phone. But it's annoying. Perhaps I should get cellular service for the Watch.
Thanks for your help!
Since the update yesterday I can’t sign into my watch, keeps asking for id and when I put it in it says failed. When I touch keyboard it says to enter id on iOS device. Nothing works and very frustrating. I see this has been going on for a while so you would think that the update yesterday would have fixed this.
