My watch keeps asking for my Apple ID password then I enter it and it keeps asking

Apple Watch
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!
MuldunE, Wow! What did you do to make it work? Would like to keep this info for the next time it happens.
JCLLC, Will copy for future reference. I've noticed "Apple Watch Keyboard" in settings, but never knew what it did. How did you enter your password? Thanks in advance!
i also have is good problem wnet in to seetings > apple id . but these is no place to put in my password.
did not do the update yet it says its unable to do an update what can i do.
Thank you. Apple doesn't make it easy for us, do they. I did get both my Watches working entering the passcode with Scribble.
I get same message. How do I enter my Apple ID P/W on my Apple WATCH?
I go into Watch app General, then tap Apple ID and it shows my id, but no way to enter the password. Could you please post a clarification of your solution?
Thanks. For some reason, everything seems to be working OK now.
Want to do this in general but it does not give me the option, no keyboard, just frozen?
Under general in the watch app there is only the Apple ID, no place to enter password
Sorry, this did not work--it just shows my Apple ID, but there is no option to enter a password.
There is no option for this on my app.
Apple Technical Support need to fix this quickly. None of the suggested solutions in this forum work for me.
I did go into the General setting on my watch app, it shows my Apple ID, but there's no place to enter or change or view a password, so what now?
I have just returned my Apple Watch to Costco. There were too many frustrations with it. Good luck everyone.
Julieda, you solution worked for me. Thanks
