Trying to confirm my device password on my new macbook air

I tried everything as well: rebooted, logged out and logged back in, that did not help. Not sure what else to do. Googled it and did not find any other solutions - maybe resolving it via command line. Hopefully the ere will be a patch that fixes it soon.

Issue - MacBook Air (new 2022) is asking me to confirm "Confirm Device Password - to continue using iCloud". Except clicking continue doesn't allow me to do this. This is causing an issue as my new MacBook Air (new) is not syncing with my other older MacBook Air (2020). I see this is an issue that has not been fixed since August 2022. Please advise.

Agreed. That is too much work and too much risk of something going wrong for something that should just work. Obviously, a fix for this is not a high priority on Apple's fix list, but that's probably because it is apparently not preventing any functionality to work or causing any serious issues. But definitely is a pain in the you-know-what.

So, I just updated my Macbook Air to MacOs Ventura 13.3.1, and I'm still having this issue. I've tried recovery mode, safe mode, everything, and no luck. I've been on the phone with three different people from Apple today. I'll update y'all if I have any luck! :/

Is this still an issue in the MacOS Sonoma betas? I'd consider an early upgrade if it could help me solve this issue. Like previously stated, I suspect keychain might be the culprit, especially on machines that are setup by migrating from another Mac (my previous Mac was a 2012 Mac mini running Monterey).

This could be way off base, I'm not a techy just an irritated user. Could it possibly be connected with the setup where you are asked to choose the sign in password and make sure it's not your Apple ID? I setup my new MacBook Air M2 from a previous (old 2014) MacBook earlier this year, and the old laptop was set up using my Apple ID password to sign in. When setting up i remember being asked to choose a different password to sign in to the new Mac (NOT my Apple ID password), although i don't recall being asked for the Apple ID as well I guess must have been asked at some point (I just followed instructions to setup the new laptop, setup from old device is usually so good I didn't think to note the steps because there's never normally a problem down the line). Please ignore if this is a daft comment because iCloud is working and synching okay, it's just the persistent "confirm device password" popup that never goes anywhere after you click on it which is the irritating thing.

We appreciate you letting us know, Mudwasp73. Let us know if you have any other questions. We'd be happy to help.

Lol still not fixed in Ventura 13.0

Still not fixed on Ventura 13.0.1. I am also on a M2 MacBook Air.

Ya, I am disappointed too after the update. Was hoping it would get fixed.

I have exactly the same issue.

Issue solved in Ventura 13.2 in my case.

(MB Pro 2019)

I have a new M2 and am on Ventura 13.2 and the problem persists
