Mac Keeps Asking For Facebook Password

admin

When using Mail for accessing your e-mail, you might run into a problem where Mail repeatedly asks for your password, either when you are checking for new messages (such as when opening Mail for the first time), or when attempting to send messages.

This can be frustrating to deal with if it happens, but if it does there are several things you can do to fix the situation.

Toggle your internet off and on

Dave, How do I get Outlook to stop asking me for my network password every time I send an email? I just hooked up SBC Yahoo DSL. I finally was able to get emails to send out, but now this window keeps popping up. What's the trick to solve this problem? Let’s fix iPhone Keeps Asking for Apple ID Password Issue Reboot your iPhone. Yeah, the same little trick that comes handy in fixing several miscellaneous issues. Give it a go before going for radical steps. Press and hold the side button and Home button simultaneously. As we know, one of the biggest bugs in Outlook for Mac 2016 is the ever-so-annoying repeated password prompt problem. This refers to the constant pop-ups that make it appear like Outlook is forgetting your password every few minutes, etc. The problem was much discussed during the Preview phase of Office for Mac 2016 but never corrected. One such difficulty arises, when you leave your Mac OS X device undisturbed for some time. It automatically goes to “Sleep” mode. But the problem surfaces, when you are asked for a password to enter the home screen, and the worst case scenario is that you are asked for it every time it goes to the sleep mode and you don’t know the password at all. Even though you can set up your Mac to automatically log into your user account without a password, your computer is going to be more secure if you use one. Of course, there’s a slight danger.

Use this menu to disable Wi-Fi, and then re-enable it.

Often Mail prompting for a password is from its inability to properly connect to your service provider. This can happen if you have lost your connection in the midst of communicating, so try toggling your Wi-Fi or other network connections off and then back on, to see if this helps the situation.

Wait a short while

Mac

It may be instinctive to try entering your password repeatedly in the authentication window that pops up, followed by clicking the “Get Mail” button to ensure it takes; however, while worth one try, if the password box pops up again, then this approach is likely a waste of time. Sometimes odd problems with mail account servers can prevent authentication for a short while, so if this happens, consider waiting about 10-15 minutes before trying again.

Quit and relaunch Mail

In addition to waiting, quit and relaunch Mail to see if the problem is simply a temporary fault with how Mail’s configuration has loaded.

Ensure the password is correct

While passwords should be stored in your Mac’s keychain, if you have entered the password again and then re-saved it in your keychain, then you might have simply entered it incorrectly. Therefore, try again and ensure you have put in the right password.

Clear or update your keychain

Open the Keychain Access utility, and search for the affected e-mail account (username and domain) to locate any keychain entries used for accessing this service. Select any relevant ones (especially if there are duplicates), and delete them from your keychain. Following this, go back to Mail and supply your password when prompted, and choose the option to save the password.

In addition to using the Mail password prompts, you can manually enter passwords in Mail’s settings. This may be especially pertinent if the password prompt is only happening when you try to send mail, or when you try to receive mail:

  1. Enter your passwords in Mail’s preferences for the SMTP server as well as for your incoming servers.

    Go to Mail’s preferences and click “Accounts” (not the Accounts option in the Mail menu)

  2. Select the affected account in the list to the left
  3. In the Account Information tab, update your password in the “Password” field
  4. In the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTL) menu, choose “Edit SMTP Server List…”
  5. Select the SMTP server you use with this account
  6. Click the Advanced tab
  7. Again re-type your password, followed by clicking OK to save

In addition to updating your password, ensure your outgoing server’s port number and SSL options are set appropriately, according to the configuration requirements for your mail service. You might need to search on the Web or otherwise with your service provider to see what these settings are. Lastly, try toggling the box to automatically detect and maintain account settings, to see if this setting may be causing the problem.

Asking

If you see any errors when verifying your keychain, then run the repair routine to fix them.

Repair keychains

If re-entering passwords does not seem to fix the issue, then try repairing your login keychain. To do this, open Keychain Access and select your keychain, followed by choosing Keychain First Aid in the Keychain Access menu (or press Option-Command-A). In the window that pops up, click Start to verify, and if you see any problems pop up (especially if they are related to your mail account passwords), then click the Repair radio button and again click Start. Following this, you might need to re-supply your password again to save it.

“I find it really amusing when my Windows 10 asks for a login user/password. I have an SSD disk and I want a fast boot, but this really spoils it, plus I really don't need a password to my desktop computer. I have tried many ways but keep having to login when I turn my pc on; I do not ever use sleep/hibernation mode. I'm out of clues. Any ideas?”
