Why mail asks password all time

The frustration of being asked for your password multiple times!

There are several reasons why you might be asked to enter your password repeatedly when using email services:

  1. Session timeout: Many email services have a session timeout, which means that if you don't interact with your account for a certain period (e.g., 15-30 minutes), the session will expire, and you'll be asked to log in again.
  2. Security measures: Email services may implement security measures to prevent unauthorized access. These measures can include requiring you to re-enter your password after a certain number of incorrect login attempts or after a specific period of inactivity.
  3. Browser or device issues: Sometimes, browser or device issues can cause your email service to lose your login credentials, leading to repeated password prompts.
  4. Cookies and cache issues: Cookies and cache issues can also cause problems with your login session, resulting in repeated password prompts.
  5. Multi-factor authentication (MFA): If you have MFA enabled, you may be asked to enter your password and then complete an additional verification step (e.g., enter a code sent to your phone or authenticate with a biometric).
  6. Account settings: Check your account settings to see if there are any settings that might be causing the repeated password prompts. For example, some email services may require you to re-enter your password after a certain number of login attempts or after a specific period of inactivity.
  7. Third-party extensions or plugins: If you're using third-party extensions or plugins, they might be interfering with your email service's login process, causing repeated password prompts.

To resolve the issue, try the following:

  1. Clear your browser cache and cookies: Clearing your browser cache and cookies can help resolve issues with your login session.
  2. Check your account settings: Review your account settings to see if there are any settings that might be causing the repeated password prompts.
  3. Disable MFA temporarily: If you have MFA enabled, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
  4. Use a different browser or device: Try using a different browser or device to see if the issue persists.
  5. Contact your email service's support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact your email service's support team for further assistance.
