Recently, many netizens have found that the “Update Apple ID Account Settings” prompt will always pop up in the iPhone system settings, but when entering the correct Apple ID password, the authentication failure will always pop up. Some even prompts the Apple account setting screen again not long after, and some even have Apple ID account locked and unable to use it. This time, let’s share the main reasons for these situations and how to solve them thoroughly.
Why iPhone keeps jumping out of Apple ID settings?
Update: At present, many iPhone users are known to keep showing updates to Apple ID settings, and repeatedly jumping out of authentication failure. This situation is mainly caused by Apple server errors. Please do not keep trying to enter or modify the password to avoid the Apple account automatically starting the security mechanism to lock it. Please read the detailed solution at the end of the article.
Apple added the “Update Apple ID Settings” prompt for iPhone, mainly to ensure that your Apple ID and iCloud settings are kept synchronized and secure. This prompt will be triggered as long as the system detects that some situations occur. Usually, the warning will be triggered in the following situations:
- Frequently log out and log in to the same group of Apple ID in a short period of time
- Password leaked and logged in to an unknown device
- Haven’t verified Apple account for a long time
- Account information is incomplete
- System version is too old or software vulnerable
- Apple authentication server exception problem
1. Log out frequently in the same group of Apple ID in a short period of time
If you repeatedly log out and log in to the same Apple ID account on multiple different iPhones, iPads, and Mac devices in the short term, the system may think that this is an abnormal behavior. In order to protect the account security, Apple will ask you to re-verify the account information, so the “Update Apple ID Settings” security prompt pops up.
2. Password leaks and logs in to an unknown device
When Apple detects that your Apple account is logged in in an unusual device or region, and the login location and usage habits are different from the past, and even keeps trying to log in to the account again, it will cause the iPhone to immediately issue a risk warning, requiring updates or verification of account settings.
3. Have not verified Apple account for a long time
If your Apple ID account has not been logged in for a long time, has not downloaded APPs, games, or has not been active for a long time, the system may think that the account has expired or is inactive. At this time, the prompt “Update Apple ID Account Settings” will pop up, asking you to confirm your identity and make sure you are using it.
4. Account information is incomplete
If your Apple account lacks the necessary information, such as contact number, backup mailbox, payment method, etc., it may also be considered “not fully set” by the system, and the “Update Apple ID Account Settings” reminder may also ask you to make up for the settings.
5. System version is too old or software vulnerable
If your iPhone or iPad is using an old iOS version, the verification process may be stuck due to system bugs and the update settings cannot be completed smoothly, and the prompt “Update Apple ID Account Settings” may keep popping up.
6. Apple authentication server exception problem
Usually, in some cases, the iPhone will have a prompt “Update Apple ID Settings”, mainly because Apple’s Apple ID authentication server has an abnormality, resulting in a short-term service error. Usually, when this happens, it is easy to cause the verification failure to enter the correct Apple ID account and password. Update: At present, many iPhone users are known to keep showing updates to Apple ID settings, and repeatedly popping out of authentication failure. This situation is mainly caused by Apple server.
