iPadOS 13.1 “Update Apple ID Settings”

After upgrading to iPadOS and first hitting the issue of WiFi not working on my iPad Air 2, I’ve managed to put in place a workaround by using a combination of Open WiFi, MAC filtering and a hidden SSID in order to hopefully keep out unwanted intruders.


Now though, I am facing the issue of signing into my Apple ID account on my iPad. I wonder whether iPadOS simply doesn’t like passwords full stop!

After updating my iPad to 13.1, I began receiving the "Update Apple ID Settings" prompt in my Settings.


I tapped on 'Update Apple ID Settings' and selected continue...


Next, I entered my Apple ID Password as requested and tapped Sign In.


Next, I entered my iPad Passcode as requested.


Unfortunately, after performing the steps above the original "Update Apple ID Settings" prompt returned. I also noticed that my Touch ID was not working when trying to Unlock my iPad. I was prompted to enter my passcode; which unlocked my iPad.


Next, I went into my Settings | Touch ID & Passcode and added a new fingerprint...


Seems to have fixed everything as I am no longer prompted for "Update Apple ID Settings" and my Touch ID works.

I got myself really in a mess after I reset network settings, and lost WiFi connectivity, and not able to restore it.

Then I found on Youtube out how to put my iPad2 in recovery mode (shutdown iPad -> disconnect cable -> push and keep holding home button -> connect lighting connector cable from PC -> keep holding home button until first Apple logo appears and then the PC connection logo appears), after iTunes recognized the iPad being in recovery mode, and I could restore / reset to factory conditions and reinstall from an iCloud backup. Now the unit is fully functional again.

Yeah I’ve been getting nagged a few times on my iPad since installing 13.1 to put my passcode in/and or update ID settings (as otherwise some cloud services won’t be available). Tried all the reboots and stuff. It’s intermittent as it happened straight after install and then shortly after. Then again this morning when I woke up. It also seems to make reference to the passcode being changed at some point in history. Which of course it did, when apple forced us to switch from 4 digit codes to 6 digit codes! I cannot remember the precise wording as it was a while ago but it did all start with a message similar to the screenshot further up in this thread. I think there is a cloud based glitch causing us to be bothered and hope in time it goes away

I’ve tried all the suggestions here (except the recovery mode) but still get this


so I try to update it, it asks for my Apple ID password then


it wants my passcode for the iPad so I put it in


then it thinks about it for a long time...


after that it initially looks like the warning is gone for several seconds to a minute or two, then It’s back to the warning again.


Ever since this started, I also get a prompt for my passcode when opening up my iPad randomly. Sometimes it waits for the fingerprint reader, other random times it wants the passcode. This happens even closing the Smart Cover and immediately opening it up again. I have to think they are related somehow.
