Mail does not ask for new password after change

I had to change the password for my email account based on Yahoo (sbcglobal dot) net because the hack/spam. It's the second time in 6 months, and I'm having the same problem that took place the last time. After changing the password through webmail interface for the account and which confirms that change has gone through by a disconnection and return again on webmail with the new password, I estimated that the Mail on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.11.4) app so the Mail on my 5 c iPhone iOS app are still happier never to communicate with Yahoo Server , sending and receiving mail, despite never forces me to put the new password.

This is obviously less annoying than the problem where Mail asks password constantly, it should not all too obviously work in this way. If one of these devices were lost or stolen, I know now that I could not get this email account by changing the password. Apple support tell me that deleting and then reinstalling the account in Mail should solve this problem, but *? I won't be able to do if a device is never lost/stolen. Something is clearly abnormal in the way Mail communicates with this Yahoo Server and Apple needs to fix this on their end!

OK, I'm a monumental fool, apparently, but so are at least half a dozen Apple Support "geniuses."

I have iCloud active keychain. Therefore, this behavior is expected. Keychain passes the new password information to both the MacBook and the iPhone instantly after that I changed it on the MacBook via the webmail interface. No Mail app should ask for the password, because they already have through keychain.

So I feel very stupid, but then again I am not a geek, and I'm not paid to know these things. What is their excuse? Why zero agents Support of Apple knew it was happening, or think to ask about it? Why was their first step to remove, then reconnect the account, which took me less than an hour from the last time I did, apparently unnecessarily? Honestly, one wonders if anyone knows how to do their job more.

  • Mac Mail did not request a new password after changing the outside

    Hello world

    I recently changed my password of gmail on their web site after "suspicious activity" had been detected. But Mac Mail does not work. Still able to send and receive emails and it asks me to enter a new password.

    How is that possible? Any ideas?

    If you have enabled the validation in 2 steps, you generated a password specific to the application in your Google Mail account and it is entered instead of the login password you use on the Web site.

  • 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.

    Single-pass does not work for Web sites after the last update of firefox. This works in IE and Chrome and it works under windows (when starting the computer), but not with any website in Firefox.

    Firefox 30 spent some less commonly used "Always turned on" plugins "asking to activate. To check and change this to SimplePass, you can use the page modules. Either:

    I guess it is asking you to CREATE an access code. You can disable it later.

  • Mail does not accept account hotmail password and now I can't reinstall the Hotmail account

    I "upgraded" to El Capitan recently and for the last week, had problems with Mail does not recognise my password of the Hotmail account. I thought it would be a good idea to delete the account and try to reinstall the account, but of course he still doesn't accept the password, so now that I'm completely stuck, and other proposals of support do not work when the account is not to start there. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I have several accounts email for different purposes and it is more convenient to access throughout the Mail

    I solved this problem by logging into hotmail using a web browser, then click on: EMAIL, ACCOUNTS, then POP and IMAP and POP options changed, Yes.  Try experimenting with this option online.

    Good luck

  • Windows could not search for new updates after the troubleshooting and repair of updates

    My computer Windows 8 began to refuse to install windows updates.  I've been through the troubleshooting steps in Help and online.

    Now, what I mean is "Windows could not search for new updates", code 80073712.

    Troubleshooting Windows Update tool, solve problems as an administrator, gives:

    Error Windows Update Database that can be detected 0 x 80073712... Fixed.

    Windows Update components and need to be repaired... Fixed.

    DISM.exe/online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and /scanhealth the two report error 14098: component store has been corrupted.

    Feel free to ask me questions to debug it, I'm fairly technical...
