My iPhone 4s keeps telling me my password is incorrect when I try to use the app store, but it's definitely NOT incorrect.

Make sure there aren't any spaces before or after the password. Sometimes it will read theses as characters and you won't notice them. Also try making the first letter of the password upper case.

Try retyping the Apple ID as well as the password. Seems like there might be a mismatch.

Log out your apple ID in settings and log in again.

Settings - scroll down to app store - click on it, then click on your apple id then you will be able to log out and log back in.

If anyone happens to have the same problem, darcysmile's solution fixed the problem for me also. Thank you so much darcysmile! I really thought I had exhausted all possible solutions before I tried your fix! 🙂

Didn't work for me.

There might be a mismatch on your part..

Say, do you have only one apple ID?

or maybe you have multiple IDs that you had put another password for some other ID..

or try retyping both ID and password..

ID should contain"@emailprovider.com"

Good luck

Darcysmile helped me also. All I had to do was log put of my App Store than immediately log back in. Things seem to be working ok now. Stupid smart phones :)

Thank you! I've been having problems with this all day. i created an icloud account thinking I'd be able to delete the gmail-apple id account ... should have looked into these discussions first, ha.

after making the new account, i set it up with the appstore and downloaded a new app. then came back to update some old ones and it kept telling me that the password was wrong. I also have the same passwords for both, as you mentioned. (simply because I'm notorious for confusing myself with so many different ones.)

i was even more thrown off by the fact that after updating my gmail-apple id account with a new gmail address, the "wrong password" notification still showed my previous primary email as the "apple id - email address".

apple just needs to make things a little simpler.

customers/users should be able delete old accounts if they are no longer wanted or needed.

or at the very least, should be able to merge muliple accounts.

i'm also still confused as to why i can't (or how to) use my new icloud account as my primary one on my phone. i'm only available to use it as my itunes and app store info, and do not seem to have the option of removing the old one.

Thank you Darcysmile, this worked for me. I only have one apple ID but logging out and back in did the trick! (Should have guessed 'reboot')
