"More strong password required"... do we really?

Hey gang-

Today has tried to connect to iCloud.com and got a dialog box indicating "updated your Apple ID.  More strong password required".   There seems to be no way to continue beyond this dialog and connect to iCloud.com without changing my password Apple ID.

My dates Apple ID and password to. Mac days.   It is 7 characters, while the dialog box indicates that I need a new password 'at least 8 characters', upper and lower case letters and at least one number.

Good, I get all the this.   My question is, anyone with a "legacy" Apple ID flows into that?  Is there really no way to connect iCloud.com without changing my password?  This password is literally part of my DNA now!  And the ripple effect of shear to change this password through all my Apple devices and services makes my head spin.   Everyone with password respects not above being required to change?

Thank you!

Dave

I think they are.

There has been several discussions here about it.

It's an unfortunate situation, but enhanced online security requires that a safer than even 8 characters password provides.

MU suggestion is to simply re-use your password of 7 characters and add, at the beginning or end, 1 letter/number etc to meet the new requirements.

OLDPASS becomes oldPass2

    Since I have seen many people with this problem, and the one proposed response was to remove and re-create your email account, here is the solution I found.

    Use the web interface to connect to gmail.

    Go to your account settings

    Click on the connection and the entrance of parameters

    At the bottom of the page, select "allow applications that are less safe."

    You will receive an email from Google stating you have activated this option, but your Mail from Apple will now be able to retrieve messages from your Gmail account.

  • Lost password administrator somehow. Tried to reinstall Windows XP with the CD without success. Want to know how to get around the password requirement.

    Cannot start; or work from the recovery console because of the lack of administrator password.  There were periodic crashes which led me to try reinstalling XP.  Now I'm stuck when I get to the password requirement in the Recovery Console.  As you can tell, I'm not computer literate, but can follow written instructions on how to recover from this.  Also, would like to know how to recover my files and programs if they are not lost; or how to determine if they are.

    gchtm5,
    Thanks for posting with us.  If you no longer have the administrator password you can perform a parallel installation so that your data will not be lost.  However, you will need to reinstall your programs.  This link covers the different installation options.

  • password required to awaken or inactivity setting, does not work.

    HP G71-340US W7 Home Premium. The parameter that handles password required to awaken or idle time has stopped working. The only real change to the system was an update for Norton 2010 to 2012. I didn't notice the failure of the requirement of passwords until a few days later. When I check the settings HP supply, all the required password is set to yes. Does anyone know if Norton 2012 alters with these settings?

  • Password required but no defined (ssh)

    Hello

    I'm stumped... I have several 3750 switches x (IOS 15.0 (2) SE4) configured for authentication with NPS (RADIUS).  When I ssh in these switches, I can authenticate via Radius successfully.  However, when I type activate, I get this message: password required, but none set... password: __________.  He will accept my password to enable problem-free.

    I 3750 g switches and do not encounter this message when you type in my password to enable.

    I'm trying to understand what generated this message.  This is my setup for aaa loging and line vty:

    encryption password service

    AAA new-model

    AAA authentication login default group RADIUS local-case

    RADIUS group AAA authorization exec default authenticated if

    AAA - the id of the joint session

    password for admin1 privilege 0 [email protected]username / * / username //changed and password

    enable secret 5 *.

    line vty 0 4

    session-timeout 10

    Synchronous recording

    preferred no transport

    entry ssh transport

    transport of output no

    Thank you

    Bedside

    Bedside

    It is a bit of a strange behavior. I suspect it has something to do with the IOS 15.0 changes.

    I think part of the problem is that you have not provided any aaa commands of authentication for access to activate the mode. If you want to control access to activate the mode through RADIUS similar to what you do for the user mode? Or you just want to use the enable password. I think if you put that in the configuration that he could solve this problem. It might look like this if you want to use radius

    AAA authentication enable default group enable RADIUS

    or it might look like this if you want just the enable password

    the AAA authentication enable default

    One of them give it a try and tell us if it helps.
