Can’t enter password for homepod in home app, can’t update homepod

Since few days the home app asks for iCloud password for my HomePods. Remarkably, when I select the field to enter the password, it disappears. I have 2 HomePods, one of them I can’t update to the latest version, for unknown reason.


My iPhone is latest iOS. I have Turn off and restarted iPhone and HomePods. No luck


here’s a screencast of the field disappearing:

Hello suite156,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, your HomePod is telling you to update your iCloud password but you're unable to enter it and also you're unable to update your HomePod. We'd like to help!


Let's try resetting the HomePod and see if that task will correct the issue.

Reset HomePod


If you're still experiencing the same issues after resetting the HomePod reach out to Apple Support directly for further help with this issue.
