Hello,
for weeks now, icloud keeps asking for my password, I consult Apple communities, contact Apple support, check dozens of videos, from all that one solution only works, even I can not imagine how easy it is.
YOUR solution works by signing to Music now not itunes.
you are a life saver.

I tried all of these unsuccessfully. What finally worked was VERIFYING the credit card associated with the Apple ID. iTunes / Account / Manage Payments.

Apple KEEPs GENERATING “WEAK” PASSWORDS, and won’t let me proceed…. because the passwords are “weak”. WOW

Anybody else tired of having to type in 8 characters with at least 2 numbers and 4 caps, repeatedly, again and again, and then confirming each time : Two hours to log in –so far–in this Apple ID loop . WOW, just WOW.

Thanks for the lengthy tutorial.

But this problem is ridiculous.

It has been happening on every iOS device I’ve owned over the years and still happens.

To go through pages of steps to get the pop up out of my face to fix this issue is just a shame.

Shows Apple’s disregard for the user experience it seems so desirous to protect and reward.

Back to basics Apple. Make your devices work, basically.

In reply to GM..

@GM Thank you! This was the fix for my Mac.

I had to enter the code after my password twice, so initially I did not think this would work, but it did.

Now when I restart my Mac, it does not even ask me for the password.

Previously it would repeatedly ask for my iCloud password, and no matter how many times I put in my legit password, it would keep asking.

When I gave up and would hit “cancel,” iCloud made me hit cancel two times.

It was very annoying not to mention my Mac was not logged into iCloud.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post these suggestions.

I was so frustrated that I could not even open up my iPad because I could not get beyond the Sign In Loop.

I could not get into the Settings, because of the Loop.

I was ready to pay a consultant or go to the Genius Bar, which is far from my home.

Following your suggestion, I just turned off the iPad, waited a few minutes, then turned it on again.
Voila!

No more Loop. I could log in normally using my four-digit code, and get to all the apps.

The sun shines once more.

Thank you, thank you!

Stuff that.

The fact that Apple makes such huge profits and have so many basic flaws that they have generic names like “login loops” is an utter disgrace.

Whoever wrote this page, thank you for trying.

But my life is short and there is little time to study a minor Ph.D. in Apple iPhone software repair as per the above narrative. Your dissertation will help some.

For me — I just binned the Apple iPhone. Very expensive and very satisfying. When enough customers leave Apple and the share price collapses, maybe one of the well paid IT geniuses will launch a product that isn’t crap.

P.S. Just checked Apple share price. Historically good, but in the last few months of 2018/early 2019 the Apple Share price IS collapsing. Was $225. Now $148. Ouch, Best get those login-loop-bugs a ton of other lazy errors fixed.

Let’s just pause and reflect on the fact that this has been going on for over 3 years now and Apple doesn’t care! One of the steps is to disable two-factor authentication, but recently it became policy that you can not disable two-factor authentication (after two week test period). I recently allowed two-factor authentication on my phone, thinking “sure, why not?” and now I am convinced that it is causing problems on my computer (which does not have it enabled).

Why Apple can’t make their bureaucracy more user-friendly when everything in the tech industry is super efficient is beyond me. There must be a less annoying way of recovering Apple ID than a 24-hour wait.

In reply to Mark Pruitt. Hi Mark, Sorry to hear about your wife's troubles on her iPad. This problem usually surfaces just after updating the iDevice's iOS to a new version. Since your wife does not know the password, would she possibly know and have access to the email address associated with the Apple ID? If so, then she can likely change the password using Apple's iForgot site.

None of this works. My wife has no idea what her apple id password is – it was set up by her previous husband, WHO DIED OVER THREE YEARS AGO. This constant icloud password request garbage just started out of the blue yesterday. Stupid ipad is unusable because it pops up every 15-30 seconds!

What’s a good fix?
