Apple will not stay signed in on my MacBook Pro

This happens most of the time. I close my MacBook and charge it overnight.

When I open it up in the AM, I am often signed out of various Apple services.

I have to sign in again.

Apple does not say which services have caused this to occur.

Often the account is locked and I have to go through some questions to unlock it.

And then sign in again.

Is there some shutdown/startup procedure that I should be following so that this does not happen?

Is there some problem with my account?

This is a huge time waster.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

You will have to supply more specific information...


Maybe a screen shot of the dialog box you are encountering

Shift Command 4





see if there is anything here:


If your Apple ID has been locked or disabled:

If you forgot your Apple ID password, or have issues when you try to sign in :
