Q: Apple Store keep me asking for account password when I try to download xCode 8

Apple Store keep me asking for account password when I try to download xCode 8

 

I enter my password after few seconds it asks for password again.

I have entered more than 30 times but still asking.

 

Do anybody have any idea why it is asking or any solution.

 

Thanks in advance,

    Restart your Mac in Safe Mode by restarting and as soon as you hear the startup chime press & hold the Shift key until you see the Apple logo. This is a slower startup because the Mac is doing a selfcheck and repair. You will know it is Safe Mode as it says so in red in the upper right corner of the screen.

     

    Now open the Mac App Store and try to download your app.

     

    Restart to return to a regular startup.
