IPhone :: My Phone Tells Me That My Username And Password Is Incorrect When It's Not
Jun 27, 2012
When I try to set up a new email account on my iphone 4, it says that the username and password is incorrect. I then log on to my email through a computer and have zero issues. So it makes me think it's either a problem with my phone, or with Yahoo. It worked perfectly fine 24 hours ago, then today, nothing I've done has worked.
No matter what I do in setting up my primary account on my iphone it keeps telling me my username and/or password is incorrect. I'm 100% sure it's correct. The account was working perfectly and nothing changed. I still use the email on my desk top so I know it is valid. It may even fetch the mail occasionally.
I have tried my email username and password on Verizon webmail and it works, but when I try on my Iphone I get a incorrect username or password error. How can I correct this?
When I click the mail icon to take me to my gmail account it says "the user name or password for gmail.com is incorrect". I know for a fact that the username and password are both correct because I can still access my gmail account through my computer. I have deleted the account and have tried reading the account but it will not let me.
Only one of my 3 gmail accounts on my phone is acting up from time to time, saying incorrect username and/or password. I know this is false because I simply wait and the problem goes away. Only this time, it's been 24 hours now and it still thinks its the wrong username and/or password. In the meantime, I'm able to use that username and password on my laptop with no problems. I've tried deleting the account on my phone and adding it again, but it still thinks incorrect username and/or password.
When I try to open my Gmail on my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says Cannot Get Mail - The user name or password for "My Gmail" is incorrect. But they aren't. I have deleted the account and added it back again numerous times. This is what the support person I talked to told me to do. Sometimes I can get into my email and then all of a sudden I can't.
Having difficulty setting up my work email to Iphone 4S. Getting error: Username and password incorrect.All are entered correct. I can send email and it shows from my work email, but cannot get email. Information for incoming server is correct?
using googlemail on my imac and synced via itunes. This worked perfectly on my old iphone 3 but won't allow me to send any emails from the new one. I'm still receiving email so the password must be correct. Not sure what to do now?
My Gmail account was telling me I had an incorrectu username and/or password. I treid to delete the account, and reinstall and now I'm still getting the same message. I tried on wifi and 3G, I confirmed I was able to log onto my email from a computer, and I tried to reboot my phone.
I keep getting this message on my phone when I try to get my email: The username or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect. It is correct. I can access it on my computer with ease. what gives?
Gmail question. I'm getting an error message that states my username or password are incorrect. I haven't changed anything and the gmail is working fine on the mac book. The mail function worked yesterday on the iphone but not today
I've had the social networking widget working fine for some time. About a week ago the sync to my twitter account stopped working stating there was a username password problem. I double checked and I have the correct username and password. I changed the password online but that didn;t I've tried deleting the account from "my accounts" and it keeps telling me that the username / password are incorrect? Any workaround?
i have encountered difficulties in my Internet application when i log in using my username and password, keeps on saying "authentication failed-the username or password is incorrect". where i can retriev my username or password?
Up until last Thursday, I was happily using my iPhone 3 to receive emails sent to my [URL] account.neevr had any problems.Then suddenly, nothing!Everyt time I click on the email icon on my iphone, all I get is a message saying my username or password for ".Mac" is incorrect. I spoke to someone from, apple earlier and they told me to back up and update via iTiunes.I did this but to no avail. All that seems to have happened is I've lost the music I had on my phone in my itunes and lost all the emails I had there.Still not able to receive anything. I can get my emails via icloud online, but that's it! Very annoying.

I misplaced my blackberry (bb) and locked it via bb protect online. When I found my bb I entered the password(pw) but it kept saying incorrect pw. Now I'm trying to reset the pw on bb protect but it keeps saying the current pw I've entered is incorrect.
So I have moved into a new apartment, and when my iPhone finds the router and tries to log on, it asks for a username AND a password. When I use my Macbook, it just asks for a password, which I enter and get no further problems with. Â
I have tried entering the router's details manually using the 'Other' feature in the Wifi settings, and still cannot log on (either with WPA or WPA2).Â
Every time i enter my password, its always saying incorrect password. Even when i change it to a new one. its as if the password is never saved or something, password i use with my iPhone is the someone i have always used. But with iPhone its always incorrect.
My phone says I need to update my apps, but when I try it says my password is incorrect. I have changed my password three times and it stil won't work.
I have multiple mailboxes. I have a yahoo and a Gmail. When I click on my gmail account it comes up saying it does not recognize my username or my password and yet it has my correct password and username. I have deleted the account and created it again to get the same messages on my iphone.
I am having trouble updating the apps on my I=-phone because nothing I enter is recognised. I enter the e-mail address originally used and the correct password but it says it doesn't recognise this. I have also tried to re-set the password but it says it is sending me an e-mail to do this but it never comes. I have set up a new user ID and password but don't know how to transfer that so it updates my I-phone.
Recently my mum's iPhone 5 stopped working and she tried to take it back to Apple for repair but they said they couldn't fix it until she gave them her login details however she has forgotten everything but still remembers the security questions. What can she do to get her login details back so she can fix her phone? I was thinking we go to the Apple Store and give them some details about the account such as the address used, security questions and date of birth used on the account but i'm not sure if that works. Is it possible?
I changed my old Apple ID to a new one. ITunes recognizes the new ID from my Mac, but not from my iPhone or iPod Touch. It says "incorrect password." How do I fix this?
This is for a friends iPhone 4S. She always forgets her itunes password so I went to reset it for her through her phone. I went through everything and it said that it was reset to the new one. So then I updated her apps and that worked just fine. Then I went to download Pandora for her and it told me that her password was incorrect. Clearly it wasn't. I tried a few more times and it still didn't work. So then I reset it again. I tried resetting her password about 10 times and it still always says that it's wrong. I don't know what is going on. I've also tried restarting her phone and still nothing.
My exchange for gmail was working fine. Email, contacts and calendar. Then I was asked for the password because a pop up said it was incorrect. No matter how many times I enter the correct password, it stills says incorrect. I have tried the following
1. Delete and reinstall all email accounts several times. When I re-create the gmail exchange everything verifies and a minute later, I gt the pop up.
2. Delete iCloud account
3. Change password and try again
4. Add gmail account under gmail and that works fine but I'm still not getting my contacts.
5. Unlock captcha. When I follow the link I get a screen saying my identity needs to be verified and them I click okay and the screen says I have 10 minutes to use password on device. I never get he option to enter the scrambled code on my PC or phone Tried google double verification. None of these have worked despite multiple attempts. I have recently switched to google chrome and am using it under my PC laptop and iMac.
