I've been dealing with a frustrating issue for almost a year now: whenever I try to log into my Apple account, it simply won't accept my password. I use LastPass, so I know my password is correct. Every single time, I end up having to reset my password using a different device. Once I manage to log in with the new password, it saves, but the next time I need to log in, the same problem occurs. I'm getting really tired of being told I'm forgetting my password—I don't have this problem with any other services like social media or Google. I'd love to hear any insights or solutions if anyone's experienced this.

It could be that LastPass isn’t properly updating your password after you change it. You might want to try manually updating it in LastPass after you reset. I personally use Apple’s password manager and it works smoothly for me every time.
It sounds like you might not be remembering it correctly or that there’s some mix-up. I suggest you double-check your password outside of LastPass to make sure it’s the right one.
Make sure you're checking the case sensitivity and any spaces in your password. Sometimes, there might be an accent mark or a different language setting that doesn't match; that could cause the login issues. Are you trying this on a Mac or an iOS device?
I'm copy-pasting the password from LastPass. I've used it on both my Mac and Android to create new passwords, but I'm still running into issues—only with my Apple login, not any others.
I've heard that LastPass generates some quirky characters that differ from standard keyboard characters. For example, it might use a vertical apostrophe while your Apple device expects a right-leaning one. Next time, try using more universal characters when you're saving your password—things like @&$?! instead of those odd ones.
I've used LastPass for a decade and never faced this issue with any other logins. I'll give it a shot, but I doubt that's the problem.
I checked LastPass last time, and it was updated correctly.
