My Apple Watch keeps asking for my Apple ID password

I tried that but the answer was actually that my two phase authentication had been turned off on my phone so I put that back on and but it in.. no more problems. thanks!

This suggestion actually worked. Just hold down both side buttons on your watch and it will reset itself. Many thanks

My same issue solved by unpairing my watch.Changing Appleid.then pair again. Issue solved for me

Try unpairing the watch with your phone and pair it again. So far it’s working for me. Good luck!

Good afternoon I was having the same problem, and what I had to do is Unpair my Apple Watch with my iPhone and pairing back again. That fixed the problem. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. I unpaired my watch and repaired it. That seems to work.

It was very frustrating. The only way I got around the issue was signing into the account, that matched the account my watch was asking me to sign in to, on an iPad (to complete the verification process).

I do not know a workaround for someone without access to another Apple device, and the message seems a bit random from the varying messages from others in this thread.

You can’t sign out of the Apple Watch because the Apple Pay security is tied to the account to which you signed in to when setting up the watch initially.

There is definitely an underlying issue with the new watch App Store and legacy apps and the Ids that we’re used to download them.

Now it just needs to get fixed.

First go to the Watch app at your phone and enter your apple id through the settings. After this your watch will ask one more time to enter apple id and when you enter your id it will verify through your watch app settings. After these steps, you shouldn’t get any more same notification.

OMG THANK YOU HELLSBELLES! This answer worked for me. I don't have another ios device to log in with other account (to receive the code for the ID the watch wants). This solution worked for me. Two weeks of solid frustration solved in 30 seconds. THANK YOU!

THIS WORKED FOR ME: After literally a month and a half of stress and never being able to see what time it is, here it is:

Step 1: Put in your password on the watch - if the keyboard does not work, you will have to draw the letters.

Step 2: Go to your iPhone: settings>tapped my name on top>password & security> Get Verification code.

Step 3: This six digit code is then entered on the watch after it asks for a code. Success

Onward!

Just got off the phone with a wonderful senior Apple support guy, Brad. Turns out the watch kept asking for my password (with no way apparent to enter it) because one of my apps, Messenger, wasn't loading. Once we figured that out, I was able (with help) to use "Scribble" to enter my Apple ID password (cool but not intuitive), Messenger loaded, and voila! Problem solved.

Sounds like you have an app that is using the family ID

Try removing all apps from your watch then install them one by one to find the app in question.

Install one app then active it to see if it asks for a password.

If all good, install the next one, active it to see, and then so on till you find the app that is asking for the password.

An iCloud ID is and Apple ID. So is your iTunes ID. They're both Apple IDs, just used for different purposes in your case (and mine). What you need to do is sign into that iTunes Apple ID under Settings > Passwords & Accounts (iPhone) or System Preferences > Internet Accounts (Mac), and then wait for the popup again. Enter your password, authenticate with a code, and the annoyances will stop.

I seem to have fixed this problem on my watch. For me it was an app that hadn’t finished installing. The website I consulted had several options to try.

Do take a look. It says iPhone in the link but in my case it was my watch that had the problem.

I haven’t had this issue for weeks now. I deleted any apps (I have a lot 🥴) that showed the cloud with arrow because it won’t update so is probably old & obsolete. The email address that previously popped up was an old one that was for an iPod (I also reset the iPod) & the ID is no longer valid (not used since 2012) so couldn’t sign in anyway. But the problem has stopped.

I see there’s now 19 pages of comments. I’m not sure what I did right but I have not had this happen for several weeks now.

My watch was asking me to sign into an obsolete Apple ID, it was one I used on an old iPod dating back to about 2012. I couldn’t even sign in to Apple on the website with it as I no longer remembered the password & when I tried to reset password I got the error message ‘this Apple ID is not valid’

The main things I did was reset the iPod to factory settings & deleted all the apps on my iphone that wouldn’t update, old/obsolete apps show a cloud with an arrow.

i think I’ve had 2 iOS updates since it stopped the password request & it hasn’t come back, so yay!

Maybe these solutions could help someone else 😊
