Why does my Apple id keep asking for my password? It's not just iphone and ipad, it's all my devices that use Apple id such as Apple TV and each of the purchased apps on it.

Hi there Goober3,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are being prompted for your Apple ID password on all of your devices. Are you being asked when using a specific app or feature on your devices? Does the issue continue after you sign in to your Apple ID?


This article might help: If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services.


We hope this helps!

Hello jdo. It's quite random. My ipad and iphone prompted for my Apple id to access my email which is Outlook synced with icloud. Then later I was prompted for itunes just on the iphone. On the Apple TV box I was asked for my Apple ID password when I started it up, then when I tried to access a couple of TV apps I had downloaded: Acorn TV and Britbox. This all happened one day this week.


I use a Windows 10 PC as my principal device but have had no prompts on it.


I've been through all the usual suggestions, but it hasn't happened for a few days. Maybe it was having post Christmas depression.
