Can somebody tell me what Mz Finance is?
Greetings,
I was able to resolve this issue yesterday. Let me explain how I did it. The issue was as a result from enabling Two-Factor Authentication on the Apple ID. Since the Two-Factor was enabled, the operating system of the Mac didn't support Two-Factor. You can review the requirements here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205075
Traditionally, as soon as you sign into your account, you should receive a 6 digit code. This 6 digit code is entered immediately after your password. For example, Password123456 and then you'd be able to sign in.
However, this has not been the case. I was able to resolve the issue by going to appleid.apple.com and turning off Two-Factor authentication and restarting the iMac.
Please let us know if this works for you.
I restarted my Mac Air and the pop-up prompted for my pass, so I instinctively entered it, and as I was hitting the submit button, my brain was like, *** is MZFinance?
I can't believe there's been no response from Apple about this. I changed my password immediately, but so much for the steel wall of Apple products.
I got this window too after restarting my Macbook today. I cancelled it, as it sounded suspicious for me. Following the idea of using Spotlight, my search took me to a couple of very old iTunes Store receipts (for some iPhone apps) I had in my Mail:
"...
Apple ID Summary: https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/accountSummary
Purchase History: https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/purchaseHistory
..."
Following those links prompted to open my iTunes. I cancelled that, as I did not want to mess-up with iTunes while checking something of dubious origin and getting to my account there.
Could that be that this MZFinance thing might be a third-party app that is used by some iOS apps? If so, why does not Apple just say so to those of you that contacted it? I did not see any recent info. Might it be a plist mishap, as an old post referred?
I will keep cancelling its request for password, in any case...
I have had contact with apple (via chat). I was told not to worry as it s part of a third party in app payment app. Possibly evernote. They advised me to just enter my password and that the messages would stop. I did not follow this advice, but the messages stopped anyway.
Don't know if i agree to trust the popup - but thought to give you guys a headsup.
I have the same question about mzfinance. Why am I getting a popup asking me for a password?
Sounds to me like Apple iTunes has been hacked and Apple don't want to address that this has happened.
I've had the popup when starting my Mac for the last week, and i haven't bought anything (apps) in the past months.
Something definitely funny going on.
I have exactly the same issue. Once in a while I get it when I open Logic Pro X.
Hi i just want to inform that i cant login several times and i change my password 3x. please help me i cant download any apps from Apple Store.. Thanks
MZ Finance is the name of the software apple uses to process payments. It's not harmful and is there on purpose. Looks like sometimes there's a software bug and it shows it's name.
what is mz finance?
