I've been having a huge problem logging into my Apple account for almost a year now. Every time I try, it just won't accept my password. I'm using LastPass, so I know my password should be right, but it seems like every time I have to reset it. I log in with the new password, save it, and everything's fine until I need to log in again. It's really frustrating! I don't have these kinds of login issues with other services like social media or Google. Can anyone offer some advice?

Honestly, it sounds like you might just not be remembering the password correctly. Have you tried simply typing it in without LastPass? Double-check to ensure it's the same.
A little tip: LastPass sometimes uses special characters that could be different from your Apple keyboard. For instance, the apostrophe might look different based on settings. If LastPass creates passwords with non-standard characters, try swapping them out for ones that are universally accepted like @&$?! before saving.
It's possible that LastPass isn't updating your password properly after you change it. You might want to try updating the password manually in LastPass after resetting it. I've switched to Apple's own password manager and have had zero issues since.
I checked LastPass last time, so I don't think that's it.
Make sure your passwords are case sensitive and check for spaces. Are you sure what LastPass has saved matches exactly? Also, is this happening on a Mac, iPhone, or another device? It could be a compatibility issue depending on where you're logging in from.
I'm copy-pasting the password, and it's the same on both my Mac and Android. This is only happening with my Apple login.
I've used LastPass for a decade without issues on other accounts. I'll give it a shot, but I'm not convinced that's the problem.
