My Apple Watch keeps asking for my Apple ID password

This is my problem exactly and although I’ve mentioned it numerous times, nothing seems to work. I have only one Apple ID. I’ve tried a hard reset and even un pairing and nothing seems to work.

its frustrating beyond words. If someone has an idea I’d greatly appreciate it...

Same, incredibly annoying! Tried many ways, I shouldn’t have to sign into my account to where my watch. Looks like the real solution for me is to get a hammer and smash it into little bits and put my Movado back on.

My watch keeps asking for my husband's apple id. He hasn't used it in years, no longer has the email address so there is no way to log in and out of that ID. I am going to try the two hours on Apple support because my watch is fast becoming useless. I have to cancel out multiple requests 8 times or more per day. I am so annoyed and frustrated. What happened to Apple? It used to be so user friendly and now is anything but.

Prior to the last update, my watch suddenly started asking for a Apple ID password for an account that isn't even linked to my Apple ID (it is my husbands). The only potential reason is that perhaps we shared music in the past. I have had this watch for years, and this has only just occurred in the past few months. Apple has blamed it on my husband changing his password (he hasn't) or me using apps purchased under his old ID (they're all deleted), or of course, that email still being linked to my account (it isn't). After an hour on the phone to Apple they had no fix other than suggesting I go through my iTunes song by song to work out if I had any songs that he had purchased under that ID (we're talking a catalogue of over 5000 songs). Now, since the last update over the weekend, I am getting a continuous loop of asking for my Apple ID which I have repeatedly inputted, and his ID. My watch battery lasts less than half a day as a result, and I can't use it anyway due to the continual looping. This is the most stupid thing I've ever seen happen and there doesn't seem to be any way of fixing it. I'm at the point of selling my watch and other Apple gear as the support for this issue is atrocious.

Watch keeps asking for password, I think it said for cloud. Can’t figure out how to enter password without access to keyboard. Tried writing my password in but it was difficult...large case small case problem.

Regardless, you can sign onto your Apple Watch by drawing letters for your password onto the watch face.

It is an extremely tedious process, and I passionately want Apple to stop demanding that I sing onto my watch every time I put it on.

Apple is either being invaded by space invaders or they no longer care about their machines working--just selling them.

Yes, the people who answer the phone are amazing, but I am tired of having to fix all the glitches I am experiencing lately.

Apple used to make my life easier. Not anymore!

We are all in the same boat. When i put the timer while walking it keeps on asking my password every 3 Mins!! How annoying!! Does anyone from Apple get to read the trend on this topic? Do they rven care? Why cant they just solve the issue through an ios update????

This thread is out of control. Do NOT post your email address or Apple ID here. This is not official Apple Support and it won't help your situation.

Read through the thread and try the many proposed solutions. Click "I have this question too" instead of littering the thread with unhelpful comments.

This is really annoying. Mine keeps on asking every 15 mins! I have tried all suggestions in this community! Is there anyone in this discussions who works at apple? Why cant they just fix this thru ios? Does apple even care?

Barbara,

I already did this. And all other suggestions here. The annoying problem is still there. You are right! Tim Cook does not wear an apple watch, nor does he care. Even the latest os update does not address this concern. What can we do?? I am calling for a boycott of Apple Watch!!

Steven - That doesn't work if you have an older model (even with updated firmware) unless and until you re-register the watch by the rather long tap-dance I described. I was able to log into the watch before that, but it did not ask for a verification code. Honest.

This just open up all kinds of ways to frustrate yourself My watch ID is a non existent e-mail that I can't access anymore

So I continue to hit cancel 10-12 times a day till my watch stops bugging me. Seems to me Apple could fix this with a simple patch

As you saw, Scribble is the icon on the left side of the two on the Apple Watch face, not your iPhone. As said, I tried several times, like about 6x with my finger (write large as possible - I have more than a dozen letters/numbers) before it took. Yes, it is frustrating. Best of luck!

I agree ! There is NO keyboard....and I know people said it comes up fast.....nothing.....is their phone locked ...unlocked ? You would think there would be someone from APPLE reading these and try to help ......??
