For the last few months I keep getting logged out and then locked out of my Apple ID account. My iOS is always up to date and I’ve changed my password a few times to stronger ones and it keeps happening. I get this message 3-4 times a week. What is going on and how can I fix this?
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14
Funny, as I was trying to come here to reply to everyone, again account was locked and needed to reset it. Then once that was done it tried to push me to do 2FA. I don’t have that and will never upgrade to it. I’m thinking others are right and this is a way to push us to add 2FA. Apple you need to fix your sh*t! Not all of us want 2FA on our devices so you can’t force us to do that. It’s annoying to keep having my account locked for no reason but that won’t push me in to adding something I don’t want. FIX THIS NOW!!
The solution to that problem is a password manager, like LastPass. It stores your passwords and allows you to create random ones without you having to remember what they are. 1Password is another option.
Oh that is redicilious! For which sake should I set 2FA for a device which I always keep home?
I have lost one apple ID account because I have forgotten one security answer. I dont want to loose it again.
So frequent locks look scarry to me.
It happens not so often though: maybe once per month and yes it happens since maybe end of last year.
If it keeps going I will not buy an apple device anymore after the current one is broken
This has happened to me 3 times since April 26th. It may have been going on longer than that but I hadn't been using my iPad at all up until that point. It's getting really frustrating, and pushing me to just use my Android phone. Good job, Apple.
Still happening. It's happened to me twice in the last 6 days. I haven't even used my iPad in the last 2 days, but it still happens. I can tell because iTunes on my Mac forces me to log back in.
This is becoming very infuriating.
Me too! It just started happening within the last couple of weeks. Guessing this is a bug, but where? It's happening both on my iPhone (iOS 14) and on my laptop (Big Sur).
I'm glad i'm not the ONLY one with this problem! It's annoying and nothing fixes it!
I did change my password, but it was to a stronger one. Of course that makes no difference because it's my email address that's being hacked.
I don't think your email address is being hacked. This is happening to too many people and it all started happening at the same time. It's a bug and Apple needs to fix it. It's a real PITA.
I would accept a magical fix as long as it was even more effective than the magical BREAK that has created.
BTW, I am not using 2FA either.
Same issue here. Glad I'm not alone
same here. 3 devices, iphone, ipad & mac.
started on the 18th of December every 3 days. stopped for around 15 days and now it got back again
I have not switched to 2fa because of issues it caused me early on, and now I am getting these issues with being signed out very annoying.
I have this problem, but not as frequently as most posters. It occurrs approximately once a month. Genuinely curious to know why people are reluctant to use 2FA.
BTW, I do not have a Netflix account.
I am having this same problem on my phone and iPad often times daily. I do no use 2FA. What is going on?
Apple ID keeps getting locked
