Can't connect to the Appstore, says password incorrect

When I try to update an app or log in to this apple ID it says the password I typed in is incorrect and that's impossible! I just used this password to log in to open this post and it has been my password for a long time, there must be a bug, my password is correct.

Hi shlumper,


Thanks for your post. I see you’re trying to update an app but it’s not accepting your correct password. I know how important it is to keep your apps up to date. I’ll be happy to help.


Lets try signing out of the app store and signing back in. You can find the steps in this article:


Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support



  1. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store.
  2. Tap your Apple ID. If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
  3. Tap Sign Out.
