iCloud keeps asking for a password

Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears

If you are using Safari to login to icloud.com try emptying the Safari cache. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache

After resetting your password did you enter the new password into Mail. Have you tried logging out of iCloud and logging back in again.

I have to admit my mail account will pop up occasionally and ask for a password, I just click cancel and it goes away until the next time which really isn't very often (maybe once or twice a month)

Just to be picky, does your password meet iCloud requirements (bear with me here) 8 character minimum, at least 1 number, at least 1 capital letter, no special characters?

OK, at this point (and assuming you haven't yet) I would try removing the iCloud account from Mail and putting it back again but I would do so manually rather than let the auto setup do it (well, actually I would let the auto have a go first), you seem to have verified the standard requirements so I am not sure what else to suggest. It's an iMap account so you will not lose anything in the iCloud account.

Well, I have no idea what happened there, but Csound1's suggestion seems to have fixed it. Thank you so much. I am now going to lie down in a darkened room.

I know just how you feel 🙂

Thanks

same problem here, from today! it seems it doesn't accept the server..

Interesting, so I'm not the only one. Every morning when I pick up my phone in asked for my iCloud password. (I assume the phone tried to sync via wi-fi while I was asleep. It's great, I like for it to sync when I don't need it BUT *** do I have to provide the same password every time? The password is correct, it accepts it then the next morning - same question.... Is Apple becoming the "new" Microsoft?? I remember all the weird Windows prompts, now this crap. There's more but this is all I care enough to write about...

Dealing with the same issues...it accepts my password and a couple of minutes later that dang box appears again. I will try some of the above solutions and see if they help. Grrrrrrr! Thanks everyone.

I have removed it manually also many times over but it does not work for me. I came from a MobileMe migration and I think it may have something to do with it. I am downright frustrated to not know why there are basically 3 icons with almost the same functions in Preferences referring to logging into iCloud. I logged in and deleted all three in every possible combination to try to get my HD iCal and mail to sych. with iCloud, but to no result.

It seems Apple does not care to respond to this problem as I have not seem their official reply or fix to the matter. I spent many many unnecessary hours trying to resolve this issue, no fault of our own I am sure. It has to simply do with the server rejecting our access.

My issue actually began when all was initially working fine, except I noticed my iPad wasn't logging into iCloud, it kept asking for an iCloud password even though the correct one was entered. So then I went ahead and changed the iCloud password thinking that should be a work around, just needing to update all my devices with the new password. What a Fricken Mistake!!!! Since then my iMac and MacMini disconnected from the iCloud server. I haven't checked all my Apple stuffs. Yet I can access iCloud via any web browser! Apple is just winging it as they're winging the new iPad leaving more trails of mistakes and less fixes. The three redundant icons unfixed poses as an obvious sign of a potentially bad future.

With the volume of customers increasing they still decide to not provide customer support at night as the days are all busy with very long wait times that are expensive as I pay by the fricken minute. Anyways, enough whinning, hope someone can help me with a fix. I tried already to verify, fix/repair, and reset my Keychains, so that is not the issue. I even carefully erased all the iCloud related ones I could find except the certificates. Please help with a ReAl and PrOvEn fix, thanks in advance!
