podcast app ios14

In ios14 the Podcast app incessantly asks to log into podcasts. When I start to type my password it goes away then comes back. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Solved ! As others have stated I think it started happening to me because I changed the password elsewhere. So as soon as the password request flashed up this time, I entered my APPLE ID password. The password request also flashed up on my other devices and I did the same there. Everything is back to normal now.


It’s important to realise that BBC Sounds and iPlayer require your BBC password but PODCASTS requires your Apple ID account email and password.

I have been enduring constant requests for sign in, that then disappeared once I started typing. I downloaded google podcast app, but really like the apple interface. This has been happening for over a month. Have tried signing out of iCloud, resetting password etc. today it all magically went away - the answer I bought more iCloud storage - it appears this may be a scam, pester until you purchase. I am tempted to see if cancelling upgrade $4.99 per month, brings the problem back.
