On iOS before 14 there is a separate sign-in in Settings –> AppStore that sometimes goes awry. If you still see that, try explicitly signing out and back in there. That may make the login stick.
With iOS 14, that seems to have been lumped into the Apple ID at the top of Settings. So try signing out and back in there.
I believe this happens because some app we use (it was LiveXLive for me) constructs an object that somehow includes an Apple Music object. But that object requires an Apple ID, so you get this spontaneous login popup, because somehow the saved data is flakey.
Yeah, I've had that too...it's getting really annoying...
Yup, drove me nuts for a week or so.. seems to have chilled out lately.. don’t remember fixing anything.. maybe I did accidentally.. 🤷♂️
I’ve got the same thing since the first iOS 14 version. Super annoying having to do two step every day
I have two Apple accounts. On one account, if I need to sign in on the iPhone, a code will appear on my iPad and I need to put that code into the phone (or vice versa). But omg Apple, who the friggin hell caries their iPads everywhere when you’re out and about? And there’s literally no way to disable that two step verification. And there’s literally no other verification method with Apple. You’d think your own thumbprint or faceid would be enough?...
Go to Settings and either Passwords and accounts or if on iOS 14 go to Mail and then accounts. Sign in with your secondary Apple ID here as a secondary Apple ID. Make sure you have a passcode enabled. At this point you can get the two factor code on your phone. You can also make sure your trusted phone number is one you have access to normally.
Yes, but the point is you can’t go the other way. So far I have managed to avoid all the tripwires to accidentally enable this two-factor nonsense, but it’s only a matter of time.
@MarkH I have found the best and only real way to deal with Apple ID issues is to fully log out of the account on the device you're having issues with and then log back in fresh. I've encountered issues on Macs with this issue and the only thing that has worked consistently is to just log the account out and log back in. You don't lose anything. I will usually decide to keep the data that is there and just go through the process. Good luck with staying outside of the two factor bubble. If it happens accidentally for some reason you do have a small window of escape to reset it back to normal - I think a couple of weeks.
Cheers, will look into that. But I’m pretty sure I’m stuck with this.
Yeah, I sort of tried that but it's confusing exactly what (and how many things) you're signing in and out of. And it broke other things like Apple Pay
Since when did responsibility for device security fall so firmly into the hands of manufacturers that we now have to play a replicated game of twister to access our devices?
When Apple devices work together it’s seamless. When they don’t, it’s so buried in layers of stuff you can’t get to as a user that it gets very frustrating!
Heh, I tripped that wire too sometime last year and after entering the "wrong" code 3 times (different codes appearing on multiple devices in parallel didn't help), I was locked out of my Apple ID for two days straight (weekend), including being unable to upload a crucial app update.
Bottom line: Be VERY wary if big powerful entities (either companies or especially governments) forcibly complicate your life "for your own safety" 😉
Ok so on the phone I do get an option that says send code to “my phone number”, that logs me into my account without having to enter any code. It’s my secondary account that uses the two factor ID, I’m logged into my Apple ID and iCloud with one account, and the AppStore is on a secondary account. Oh well..
Hey! Same for me. Been signing in a lot also. Got my apple ID locked also. I just bought Bleass saturator and had to enter my VISA nip again. So something is happening.
Interesting, that’s the last thing I bought too
I’d been getting same too, and I haven’t updated to IOS 14 yet. Seems to have calmed down this morning though.
I've been getting this a lot recently but for a rather different reason.
Someone registered a GiffGaff SIM using my name, iCloud email address and a postal address in Exeter with an Essex postcode. When I started getting emails from GiffGaff about the account with all the "personal" details in them I told their support it wasn't me and asked them to remove the email. They did nothing.
Since then, whoever set up that account keeps trying to log into my iCloud email account until it gets locked. They do this every couple of days, sometimes more than once a day. Each time it happens I get locked out of my Apple ID: very annoying when it happens while I'm working.
The default iCloud email address of an AppleID is something that gets set up when you create the account and you can't change or delete it. I've never used it, I'd happily get rid of it since it seems to be nothing but a security risk, but I can't. I guess it's time to ask Apple if they can get rid of it for me.
So, a question for people having the same sort of problems: is your iCloud email address of the form FirstnameLastname(at)icloud(dot)com? Because if it is there may be a common theme here.
I enabled two factor authentication long time ago to avoid these kind of issues since I sometimes have to use multiple SIMs and when ever I log-in with my AppleID from the new sim I have to approve it on another device (my iPad or Mac).
When two factor authentication is enabled there is no way another person can create an account using the same name as you without you knowing it in advance since you'd have to 'approve' it, if you do not approve the account creation process is aborted.
But yeah, it could get annoying in the long run setting locked out from time to time.
This smells like a great opportunity to do a global, quite catastrophic denial of service attack then: just run a bot net that takes all possible combinations of first and last names, and tries to log into Apple services using those @icloud.com Apple IDs. Would essentially terminate the entire Apple ecosystem.
Am I missing something? Sounds too easy...
Yep, I have 2 factor authentication on most accounts now, and in some cases I still get notification of attempts to login that weren’t me.
My Gmail account is the most common, but it’s also the one with the ID most likely to align with another person’s personal information. There is an Australian gym user, an American interior designer in DC, an American client of an osteopath in California, a Canadian who seems to have a lot of patience with trying to set up dozens of medical appointments using my email, and a German trying to figure out why his magazine subscription support requests are not being answered. The interior designer is the worst, as he has been giving my Gmail to clients for years.
Despite the emails about various attempts to login to my account, none of them get any further because of 2 factor authentication.
You'd have to spread it across a wide range of IP addresses; if just one address, or addresses from one block were performing the attack it'd be auto blocked very quickly.
And 2FA isn't protection against having your account locked if someone persistently tries to break into it.
Well, that's what DDoS is for, right?
I know... I'm slowly wondering though if the automatic lock-out after 3 password attempts doesn't do more harm than good. Apparently and fortunately, nobody has ever tried this idea of mass-blocking accounts before? Someone surely must have.
No idea if this has ever been tried before (if it's actually what's happening) but blocks against DDoS attacks together with the fact that login routines are deliberately slow should make it pretty impractical.
I do hate having a FirstnameLastname(at)LargeCompany(dot)com account, though. Last time I had one I suffered the same sort of thing as @michael_m with people using it by mistake.
So basically from what I'm reading here, it's most likely somebody trying to log to my account or so.
I found that the 'signing-out' trick seemed to calm things down for a while, but it comes back. About a month ago I got fed up again and after a fairly useless round of 'asking the community' for advice I sought official support from Apple. Surprisingly, their online support gave me an immediate callback and I spoke with a knowledgeable person about the problem.
To cut a long story short, I was advised that this behaviour is to be expected (i.e. normal) if you use multiple devices and do not have two-factor authorisation enabled. I think the gist is that you need to use the 'keychain sync' function to keep all your devices logged in, and this requires 2FA to be on. I enabled 2FA and I have not had any issues since, although admittedly it's not been that long yet.
As far as I have been able to tell - though nobody has confirmed this unequivocally - I will be able to receive 2FA alerts by SMS on the same iPhone that is locked, so the need to have a 'trusted device' somewhere nearby is not a deal-breaker. Unfortunately you cannot set SMS alerts as the default, so there will always be a tap dance. I was not able to get a straight answer about why, since if you only have one device SMS alerts are (obviously) the default.
