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 did the recent update 6.0.1 and now the watch is asking for the password to my family Apple ID not my personal ID which is for the watch.
Enter your Apple ID via the app
iPhone>My Watch>General>Apple Id>
I am having the same problem, and same lack of ability to solve it using any of these approaches
My watch does not let me alter or enter my Apple ID
This was a complete waste of my time. I had to redownload everything.
Well it worked for me without wasting my time - some people are so ungrateful
I did a 2 button reset and it worked.
How is the following set
iPhone -> Watch app -> Passcode -> Unlock with iPhone
I know it's frustrating! I made several attempts on Scribble before it worked. It also depends on how complicated your password is.
I did the same thing! After having fixed the issue, the very next update it was doing it again. I reinstalled watchOS and hasn’t happened since!
Correct. I had an advisor yesterday tell me to tap on my apple ID in the watch app to enter my password and this is not possible.
Thank You ....will keep trying !
I see no where to enter the password
