Causes of Your iPhone Repeatedly Asking for a Password
Sometimes, after an app download or iOS update, your iPhone or iPad repeatedly asks for your password. It prompts you to log in with your Apple ID, which connects to your iCloud account, usually because a download is stalled or unable to be completed. This annoying error can also be caused by an outdated version of iOS.
How to Fix an iPhone That Keeps Asking for a Password
No matter what the cause, you can take steps to stop the requests. You won’t be able to delete the stuck app in the usual way, so the best approach is to restart the iPhone or iPad. The troublesome download will either complete its download when you restart or disappear from the iOS device completely. Sometimes, a stuck book download in the Books app causes this problem. If you spot a book stuck on a download, restart the device to fix the problem.
