iMac constantly ask for password which is not necessary

Every 15 minutes or a message appears at the top right of my screen asking my e-mail password. It is not necessary because my mail comes in fine. This has happened after loading of El Capitan. If I put my password in and then said that he does not recognize.   Thanks for any help.  James.

Maybe he asked the outgoing password.

Could leave the post.  At least the message will disappear.

  • Thunderbird, constantly asking for passwords by e-mail

    Thunderbird has worked for years OK but recently decided to ask for passwords of e-mail, and then ask again, several times, even though I told it to remember using pw Manager. When pw is given, he just keeps asking until I have abandon. Receives emails from Gmail, but I can't send Tbird. No problem with gmail itself as I can connect directly and send and receive mail, but then I get a message from gmail on Tbird telling me that I just connected via my browser. All very disappointing.

  • I get a pop up constantly ask for password

    I get a constant pop up asking me a network password

    Janice Hello,

    Usually if you get a popup window requesting a password it is because the application details are incorrect or out of date.

    You can stop this by ensuring that the details in the application are correct and then asking him to remember the password, if the password is correct, that he will not ask for a password.

    Network connections, IMAP/POP3 in Outlook etc. accounts are examples of things than that.

    Thank you

  • by using a standard user account, when it is run as an administrator, system does not ask for password

    • I created a standard account for one of my children. He installed a program that refused him permission to run. I went to "run as administrator" and should be asked for a username and password to allow him to use the program. Instead he gave me the same error message access denied.
    • I then tried to implement other programs on his desk to run as administrator and they opened, but they ask me password. Why not invite me for a username and passoword?

    But the my administrator account has a password!

    Log in as administrator, and then set a new non-empty password. Now, repeat the test under your son's account.

  • iPhone keeps asking for password hotmail (iOS 10)

    Hello

    I had this problem since upgrading to iOS iOS 10 9. I have 3 accounts hotmail on the iphone, once I get the password it will work properly for a period of time (usually one day) and then ask for passwords with a message indicating an error has occurred and iOS needs approval from hotmail again.

    I noticed that this often happens when I wake up in the morning and I haven't used the iPhone for a few hours. This problem never arose on iOS 9. I've recently updated the iPhone 6 7 and the problem persists.

    Is this a bug of iOS 10? I also tried to delete all my accounts and adding them again without success. My accounts do not use a two-step verification.

    I am currently using iOS on iPhone 10.0.2 7

    Hotmail is notoriously buggy.  For years.  Have you tried their forum for iOS 10 compatibility issues?  There may be suggestions from there.

    Best,

    GDG

    My 4th generation Apple TV installed an update and asked my password which he refused to accept time and time again. How to go beyond this screen and reset the unit?

    If she needs your Apple ID password and you have enabled 2-factor authentication, you might have to temporarily disable the connection to complete.

    Also, you need an internet connection to perform this step here.

    If your problem is not of the above, please describe more completely. Furthermore, to give specific messages on the screen.

  • Slick graphic email asking for passwords

    I know that windows live team does not ask for passwords, but I received an email so smooth, that everyone would be fooled by the latter. It's Msn-Live-Hotmail Curtomer CareTMR advertising new ways to connect.  "Windows live Essentials never ceases to evolve with two fun new features, great for the holidays"

    It is signed Steve Craddock with hot graphics and advertisements.  very official looking.  It is (give it it far e-mail return address) * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Hi RichardSharkey,

    You have antivirus software installed on your computer?

    It seems that the email sent to you likely spam in itself. I would recommend you not to reveal personal information if you receive such an email in the future.

    You can report abuse or Spam in Windows Live Hotmail in this link.

    http://www.windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?SolutionID=e1e87293-909F-45E9-9dcd-920a04719bc3

    (a) I would also recommend to run a virus scan online from the link given below and check if the problem persists.

    Microsoft safety scanner

    If you already have an antivirus installed on your computer software, it is very important to maintain regularly updated with the latest updates (usually called definition files) that help the tool identify and remove the latest threats.

    (b) you can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.

  • Windows 7 does not ask for password when password protected sharing is on.

    Hi guys,.

    I'm no stranger to permissions etc as I work in it, but it confused me after 4 hours of messing around.

    I'm trying to make sure that when I share a file on my home network that windows requires a password in order to access what it is not doing.

    The following conditions are true for both machines:

    Are windows 7 Home premium

    Have file sharing enabled on each respective network adapter

    Are members of the home network

    Are both on the network, called "WORKING group".

    Assistant file sharing was turned on and off then to make sure it wasn't an influence, it is currently off as he auto-actions the user root folder.

    Network discovery is on

    File sharing and printer is on

    I tried the two combinations of sharing folders public or not, but is currently disabled.

    Streaming media is off

    Password protected sharing is on

    Tried the two combinations of user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. (This is currently set to allow windows to manage)

    So I won't list them the public parameters are not relevant.

    I put one hand on my laptop remove 'Everyone' and 'administrators' only have my own authorized account which is be an administrator.

    My other machine but I still seem to be able to open and access the folder. I tried to change advanced sharing permissions and security settings to exclude any group that can be let my other pc on the network but so far still no prompt for password.

    I even went to regedit and apply the following on both machines:

    1. Open Registry Editor (Start search - regedit)
    2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    3. create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel
    VALUE: 1
    4 reboot your PC and try again to establish the connection.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you people!

    I think I've cracked the question:

    I created a new account admin on my PC and the first time I tried to access anything, I got the password. I don't have it a second time.

    I then removed and put in the passwords and then disconnected cache and back in and asked again the password.

    I tried the same thing on my other account, but it has not yet requested.

    It turns out that even on another computer, if you have the same username and password that it automatically authorizes for good once you enter the network password first.

  • Apple Watch does not ask for password

    In recent days, I discovered something disturbing.  If I take off my Apple Watch and put back on without having to type in the code 4 digit, even after an extra charge per night, it will not ask for a password after an hour or two and works normally.  If it's supposed to happen?  I couldn't find anything in the support forums.

    I got my setup shows to use a password because I got it last December.

    Hi Suzanne

    If you use the following settings:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - on.

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > password > enabled.

    -Also on screen settings of password - unlock with iPhone turned on.

    Then, after putting on your wrist, your watch will unlock after whatever you do first: unlock your watch manually (by entering the access code) or unlock your iPhone.

    Then, it will remain unlocked (including when the screen is idle) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it locks automatically.

  • Stor.E Slim 1 TB does not ask for password

    So I put a password on this disc using the supplied software.
    Then I took to use on another PC and it will not ask for a password?

    Do I have to install the software password on all laptops / PC that I use?

    Lock password software is needed to define the password reset / clear the password already set.

    If the HARD drive / data on the disk HARD has been already locked, you should always asked a password in case you want to access the protected data.

  • Windows will not ask for password after disconnection and stop

    machine is aspire R13, WIN 10

    I set up a password for OS - on the machine, do not use a windows account. After the outside panel and closure, opening the lid takes me straight on the desktop without having to ask for a password. What is a password, if anyone can open the lid and have access to everything?

    If instead of disconnecting and leaving the computer to sleep, so he asked a password to wake up - as if an unknown person will have access to the computer to wake up from sleep. How stupid!

    Is that the reason for this is that microsoft is forcing me to use a MS account for the connection in order to use my machine?

    From another forum, the solution was simple: change the password. Now, he asks a password after disconnection.

  • Apple Mail keeps asking for password and won't accept it.

    My iMac mail keeps asking for the password for one of my email addresses.

    The address is... @hotmail.co.uk, when I enter the password it doesn't recognize it and declare it invalid.

    Moments later, the mail is delivered.

    A month ago I had the same problem which at any mail arriving. I tried many things and finally put in place a new internet/mail account in preferences. So, after having removed the old settings and reinsert the it worked, until today.

    I have 2 other addresses of e-mail which are not affected by this bug.

    This happened only since I changed to El Capitan.

    Your email provider may reject your password for several reasons, including:

    • You do not use your current e-mail password. If you updated the password on another device, make sure you use the same password on this device.
    • Your email provider needs you to update or reset your password for security reasons. For example, if you have turned on googles two step of checking your Gmail account in Mail now requires the appropriate password app.
    • Your disabled email provider or suspension of your account. Your provider of e-mail for help.
