i hope it fixes it.

Hi. Please let us know if you get a fix for this.

im having the same issue but mine is asking me for two different id’s.

I thought I fixed it a week ago by going through my entire list of apps that were ever downloaded, and ‘hiding’ the old ones I don’t use (since you can’t delete them from your account).

Then I reset my password, I reset warnings (when plugged into iTunes/finder) I have edited settings in my Apple ID like removing or deauthorizing computers etc. I deleted any app that I wasn’t using that I have had for a long time from my phone just incase. It stopped asking me and I thought I fixed it... then it came back yesterday and would not go away, every time I hit cancel on my watch, it popped up on my phone, I click not now then it comes back on my watch... it was relentless!!

but it always starts on my watch first. I don’t know if that’s just a coincidence or it’s directly related to my watch.

my phone has recently been backed up to iTunes, reset and restored (trying to resolve other iOS 13 bugs) prior to that I had reset all settings on my phone and set them all back how I like them manually (again, trying to fix bugs). This iOS 13 is horrendous for bugs, and considering we aren’t receiving any more updates lately it seems Apple is happy with the current version? I have to restart my phone to update apps, if I try manually it just doesn’t work, I tried to download an app yesterday and when I clicked get, the little wheel just spun around for ages, wouldn’t even prompt for my Touch ID, closed and tried again, but I had to restart my phone to get it to work... I’m not sure if that is related to this issue as in the phone is confused as to who’s account is on the phone?

sorry for the long post, just wanted to add every fix I’ve tried so far

I put a post up yesterday and was redirected to this post. I have a new 11 pro max, with a new series 5 watch - same as you guys getting requests to some unrecognised Apple ID - mine is for “xxxxxxxx@mac.com”. Am very interested in any resolution you guys come up with - it drove me insane yesterday the amount of times it requested a password.

Have you had any resolve for this yet? I’m having the same problem and it’s been going on for months! Sometimes I get the requests all day and end up turning my watch off and not wearing it, very frustrating!

I called Apple care today. After a lengthy phone call of telling him what I have done. Tier 2 escalated it to engineering. He will call back on Monday hopefully with a solution. He did ask if I would be prepared to factory reset my phone. I reluctantly said yes.

I am having exactly the same issue!

Watch and then the phone asks for apple id passwords for accounts i've never heard of... There is a couple that it loops through, "mackey_2311@hotmail.com" being one of them. I have tried several of the things listed above and still have the same issue to this day. Help! :(

Add me to the list of users having this issue. I'm constantly getting requests to enter the password for an Apple ID that I've never had anything to do with - pops up on both my watch and phone.

Keen for a resolution so am watching this thread.

You are welcome. There have been several other posts today with the same problem. If you would post how you fixed the problem, it might help others.

Thanks for the feedback.

Me too. This morning.

Was it a hotmail address?
