A few weeks ago I faced a problem, my iCloud stopped working. If I log-in to my iCloud account a few minutes later a new message pops-up and asks me to sign-in again. Actually, then I realized it was not only me, a large number of users have faced this problem. The iCloud password not working on Mac is basically a iCloud login loop bug. So, I thought of taking my Mac to the nearest service center but then I found very helpful solutions on the Internet and I thought of sharing this to help other users. I was struggling with this problem for over a week but that list of solutions literally solved my iCloud problem overnight. Read the article below to fix your iCloud login loop bug too.

Way 1: Sign out iCloud and Sign in Again

There are a few problems that occur on iOS devices that may seem impossible to solve but if you search the Internet thoroughly you may find a few simple solutions that you can try at home. Suppose, your Mac keeps asking for iCloud password, even though you are entering the right password the message keeps popping up. Just follow these steps and it may solve the issue right away.

On your Mac and go to 'Apple Menu'.
Now, go to 'System Preferences'.
Then select the 'iCloud'.
Now, click 'Sign Out' option.
Then close the Preference panel. Wait for a while and try to sign back again to see if this problem is solved.

If this doesn't solve the issue, go to the next step.

Way 2: Disable iCloud Sync on Mac

The second possible way you can fix this problem is by turning off iCloud sync on your Mac. So, if iCloud keeps asking for password Mac then follow the instructions below:

Open your Mac and go to System Preferences.
Cuda driver for mac. Enter iCloud and uncheck all the options.

Way 3: Make Sure Two-step Verification is Enabled

If your iCloud password doesn't work on Mac you need to make sure that the two-step authentication is enabled. Two-step Verification is an added layer of security settings for your account. To troubleshoot it, you have to visit the official website of Apple and sign in with your Apple ID credentials. Find the verification feature and see if it is enabled or disabled. If it's off, then you will have to enable Two-step Verification. This is how to do it on Mac:

Go to 'Menu' and then to 'System Preferences'.
Now, tap 'iCloud', and then get into 'Account Details' by entering your Apple ID credentials.
Tap the 'Security' tab and tap the 'Two-Factor Authentication' option to turn it on.

If you are lucky this process will work and after that, your iCloud problem should be solved.
