Just updated OS to 10.15.6. Get a note that Apple Apps (Notes, etc) have updates. Try to update, and get message to enter AppleID. I do, and get the message again and again. I know my AppleID password is valid, because I used it several times in the past few days. Even used it to update OS.
What is going on??
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
If your Mac keeps asking for the login keychain password
The password of your macOS user account might not match the password of your login keychain. Either create a new login keychain or update it with your new password.
Accountsd asking you often…
Just open the "Keychain Access", click right on the "login" keychain in the sidebar, select "Change settings for Keychain "login"" and unselect both options "Lock after ..." and "Lock when sleeping". – Tom Kraina Sep 8 '16 at 10:55
Thanks again, No luck.
The “Change Password for Keychain 'login.'” entry on the Edit pulldown in grey out.
I am a bit confused, The MacOS User password is what I use to un-lock my Mac, correct? I tried user p/w and tried my Apple ID password, neither worked. I changed the User p/w to my AppleID password, but no change.
Before last OS update, I had no problems. The OS update caused other password problems on another Macbook in the household. Is this a new bug?
Any help out there? This seems to be a problem only with App Story updates.
Plenty of bugs in 10.15
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
Weird. I created a new ID, and switched user to it. The App store icon and the application does not say the apps (Apple notes, numbers) need updating.
Back to my user, it show that I have 4 apps that need updating. When I go to the Update screen, it continually asks for my AppleID password. I have used the password on several other places today, so it is good. Even changed password, didnt help. When back to original password nothing changed.
At this point, either I am missing something obvious, or there is a bug in the new OS update.
Thanks again for your assistance, If anyone has any other ideas, shoot away.
I deleted old AppleID passwords, but no change. Also, I cancel the requests for Apple ID password, but the request continues. I cannot quite App Store unless I can do it inbetween password requests.
Clearly, something is broken.
Thanks again.
I found the issue. Going to System Preferences -> Apple ID -> Purchases and In-App Purchases. 'always required' had been checked. Unchecked and checked 'Never Require'. Updating Apps now.
Still a bug, as I would have expected to be asked only once for my password before Apps were updated.
Thanks again for all your assistance.
Thanks for the response.
I opened Keychain Access,. 'hange Settings for keychain login' is in the Edit pulldown.
Both options were unchecked, so nothing changed. Problem continues.
One weird thing is Keychain Access, it seems to remember old passwords & if you change a password, or enter a new password, it goes ahead & sends the oldest one, check for duplicates.
Great work, thanks for the report my friend. :)
