Apple users seem to have encountered a strange and equally frustrating bug. According to many shares on Twitter, many different Apple products, especially the iPhone, started to ask for Apple ID login out of the blue.
When we look at the shared posts, we see that the error constantly sends the “Enter Apple ID password” warning, and as a workaround, when logging out of the account and trying to log in again, we cannot log in. So the error keeps asking you to enter the Apple ID password, but entering the password does not clear the error.
According to Apple, there is no problem:
It is not known how many people were affected by the error in question, but we see that the posts made are mostly in Portuguese and Japanese; suggests that users in certain regions may have been affected by the bug. Oddly enough, we don’t see any problems when we browse the Apple System Status page, which shows the running status of Apple services.
Here are some of the errors related to Apple ID password error:
