Why is Mail asking for your password?

Mac Mail App Keeps Popping Up Iphone

Mail asks for your password when it is connecting to your email provider, but can't connect to your email account because your email provider isn't accepting your email password.

Your email provider may reject your password for several reasons, including:

• You're not using your current email password. If you updated the password on another device, make sure that you're using the same password on your Mac.
• Your email provider needs you to update or reset your password for security reasons. For example, if you're using Google’s two-step verification, your Gmail account in Mail requires the appropriate app-specific password.
• Your email provider deactivated or suspended your account. Contact your email provider for help.
  

Check your password in Internet Accounts preferences

Depending on the type of email account you're using, you might be able to correct the password as follows:

1. Quit Mail. If it doesn't quit, you can force it to quit.
2. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Internet Accounts.
3. Select your mail account in the sidebar.
4. If you see a password field for your account, delete the password and type the correct password.
   
5. Close System Preferences, then open Mail and try using your account again.

If Mail still asks for your password, the password is probably incorrect. Your email provider can help you verify your email settings and make sure that you're using the correct password.

Test using webmail

Many email providers offer webmail, which is a way to use email with a web browser such as Safari, instead of with an email app such as Mail. For example, if you're using an iCloud Mail account, you can use iCloud.com to send and receive email.

Because the password that you use with Mail is usually the same password that you use with webmail, try signing in to webmail with that password. If it doesn't work there either, your password is probably incorrect. Your email provider can help you verify your email settings and make sure that you're using the correct password for the Mail app.

Remove your account, then add it back

If no other solutions work, try setting up your email account again. To do that, first remove your email account, then add the account back.

Unfortunately, Catalina has been marred with bugs ever since the developer beta began. This has extended to many applications, including Apple’s own Mail app.

One frustrating issue has been when the Mail app opens in split screen all by itself. Canon 80d manual.

Mail opening in Split Screen on macOS Catalina

This bug may not be exactly new to Catalina, but the Apple Mail app has been wreaking havoc on users for quite some time. Whenever a new version of macOS is released, there are expectations that “major” bugs would be fixed. In the case of Mail opening in Split Screen, that is simply not the case.

Notably, the problem seems to occur if you are working in a fullscreen of another application. An example of this may be browsing Reddit or watching YouTube in Safari in full-screen mode. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the Mail app decides to just open itself in a split-screen view.

This seemingly occurs due to some bugs found when you have Gmail connected to Mail. Every once in a while, the authentication between Google and Apple Mail will seemingly fail. This causes Mail to open up on its own, causing you to re-authenticate the login.

How to fix Mail opening in Split Screen

Since the bug is related to Gmail, you’ll want to go through and remove the account from Mail before doing anything else. Here is how you remove an account:

1. Open the Mail app on your Mac
2. Click Mail in the menu bar
3. Select Accounts from the drop-down
4. Highlight the Google account you want removed
5. Tap the “-” button on the side
6. Click Ok to confirm

Create an App Password for Gmail

This will remove the Google account from Mail, but you aren’t done just yet. The next step you want to take is to enable two-factor authentication (2FA), and create an “App Password” to use with Mail on macOS Catalina.

1. Open your browser and navigate to your Google Account Security Settings
2. Scroll down and select 2-Step Verification
3. Login and confirm your Google account email and password
4. Toggle 2-Step Verification On

From here, you are given the option to either use a Google prompt, or through a text message with verification codes. When you use a Google prompt, you must have the Google app installed on your phone, and a notification will arrive confirming that you are logged in.

When completed, go back to the main Security Settings page and select App Passwords. In the box, hit the first drop down and select Mail, and in the second box select Mac. Then tap Generate. This will create a password only to be used with your Gmail account along with the Mail app on your Mac.

Get Gmail back in the Mail app on macOS Catalina

Now that the App Password has been generated, you need to open the Apple Mail app on your Mac. Then follow these steps:

1. Click Mail in the menu bar
2. Select Accounts from the drop-down
3. Click the “+” button at the bottom
4. Select Other Accounts from the list of options
5. Select Mail account
6. Enter your Gmail email account and the App Password that you created earlier
7. Tap Sign In

After you have signed in, the Mail app will ask whether you want to sync Mail and Notes with this account. Leave Mail checked, and you can either choose to sync Notes or not, then press Done.

Now that the account has been added, it will take some time for the Mail app to sync the data between your Gmail account and the app itself. However, once completed, you should not run into anymore instances of macOS Catalina’s Mail app opening itself.
