How do I get my iPhone to stop asking for my password in settings?

My iPhone keeps asking for my password in settings, I keep filling it out, and the next day it keeps asking.

Hello!

I'd suggest you to re-log onto your account by following the instructions below. Let me know if it works.

If you’re using iOS 10.3 or later:



  1. Go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad > [Your Name] at the top of the screen > iCloud > Scroll to the bottom and tap Sign out > Enter your password and choose Turn off.
  2. Tap Sign Out on the upper right corner > Choose Sign Out again to confirm > Wait for a while, go to Settings > Tap on Sign in to your iPhone > Enter your Apple ID and password > Tap Sign In on the top right > Enter your iPhone passcode.

If you’re using iOS 10.2 or earlier:



  1. Go to Settings > iCloud > Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Sign out.
  2. Open Settings > iCloud > Sign in > Enter your iPhone passcode.
