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!
Very helpful and clear resolution to a frustrating problem. Thank you.
Spoke too soon, it popped up again this morning after I restarted the watch....ggrrr.
Will Apple issue a fix for this as I am sure many apple users maybe business travelers whom permanently need multiple iCloud accounts?
Is there anything specific we need to do to get an Apple support person to look at this thread?
After the hard reset it immediately started prompting for my secondary Apple ID - so didn’t work for me
The only method that works for me is to keep a second device with the second Apple ID signed in to keep receiving that code when the watch asks for it lol
It doesn't have a place to enter a password.
😯 ChresDel71 that is weird, hadn’t noticed that cos I always tapped cancel.
Thank you! Your instructions were perfect, and incredibly helpful!! :)
Thank you so so much. I couldn’t figure out why it was doing that, I even reset the watch. I was about to give up when I saw this.
I tried the Family Sharing / confirm password, didn’t stoop it happening unfortunately.
I thought the forced reset might work but alas after a short period we’re back to the same issue!
Oops spoke too soon, the message just popped up on my watch again.
Apple Watch keeps asking for Apple id
What if it doesn’t allow you to enter or modify your Apple ID from there?
