After trying to install OS X El Capitan onto my hard drive, I've come across a problem. When it asks me to sign into my Apple ID I do with the correct information. It then says that my username or password is incorrect. I know this is not the case because I have reset my password and tested it by signing into the App Store on my phone. Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes? Thanks.
This article lists and describes the different compliance settings you can configure on macOS devices in Intune. As part of your mobile device management (MDM) solution, use these settings to set a minimum or maximum OS version, set passwords to expire, and more.
Create A Macos Password App
Password typeChoose if a password should have only Numeric characters, or if there should be a mix of numbers and other characters (Alphanumeric).
When the password requirement is changed on a macOS device, it doesn't take effect until the next time the user changes their password. For example, if you set the password length restriction to eight digits, and the macOS device currently has a six digits password, then the device remains compliant until the next time the user updates their password on the device.
App-specific passwords ensure that your Apple ID isn't compromised if you need to add your iCloud account to a third-party email, calendar, or contact manager app. It creates a password that those third-party apps will store instead. It is just another layer of protection that will ensure you're protected from nefarious activities.
From now on, the app you just generated the app-specific password for will use this specific password in order to access iCloud. If you every have to re-enter your iCloud password, use this app-specific password again.
Apple lets you store up to 25 active app-specific passwords at one time. You can view a list of passwords you've generated for apps to ensure you still need them. You won't be able to see the actual password, but you can view the label you entered and the date it was created.
If you have any app-specific passwords for apps that you no longer use, you can revoke the password, which will also revoke access for that third-party app to iCloud. If you want to use that third-party app again, you'll need to generate a new app-specific password.

Thorin Klosowski has spent a decade writing about technology, with a focus on software for many of those years. He has written about privacy and security for the bulk of that time and has tested countless password managers.
Passwords are as annoying as they are necessary, and a good password manager can keep you secure while making it easier to juggle the sheer number of passwords you need to be a person on the internet. Using a password manager is one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself online, aside from using two-factor authentication and keeping your operating system and web browser up to date. If any of your passwords are weak and easy to guess, if you reuse any of your passwords across multiple sites, or if the sites you use are ever hacked and your account is compromised, you risk losing access to your accounts and your data. In fact, if you reuse passwords, chances are good that your password is already out there on an easy-to-find database. You can even check to see if your email address or password has been involved in a data breach.
1Password is compatible with all the operating systems and browsers that most people use: Standalone apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android all allow you to view and edit all the items in your vault. 1Password also has browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Microsoft Edge that handle basic functions like autofilling passwords and creating new ones. If you use Safari on Mac, you need to download the desktop app, which includes the extension for Safari. Figuring out exactly which program to download is often confusing for newcomers and still manages to trip us up sometimes. We recommend downloading the desktop and mobile apps for your operating systems, along with the browser extensions for whatever web browsers you use.
Bitwarden supports the same operating systems and browsers as 1Password does, including Windows , macOS , iOS, and Android. Bitwarden, like 1Password, supports logging in with your face or fingerprint, whichever method your device supports. Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera (like 1Password, Bitwarden packs its Safari extension into the desktop app) let you easily autofill usernames and passwords no matter which browser you use.
We dismissed most other password managers for lacking one or more features, such as not participating in third-party security audits or not supporting one or more of our desired operating systems. That list includes Ascendo DataVault Password Manager, Avast Passwords, Avira Password Manager Pro, Blur, Enpass, eWallet, F-Secure ID Protection, LogMeOnce, McAfee True Key, mSecure, Norton Password Manager, oneSafe, Password Boss, Password Safe, RememBear, Revelation, RoboForm, SaferPass Premium, SplashID Pro, Sticky Password, and Splikity.
Usually, yes. Both 1Password and Bitwarden Premium accounts support security keys as a second factor for login. The free version of Bitwarden does not support security keys but does support using an authentication app. Consult the feature list on other password managers to look for such support before signing up.
Yes. Most password managers with iOS and Android apps can autofill usernames and passwords both on websites and in apps, replacing (or augmenting) the built-in autofill features in those operating systems. You can find directions for setting this up in 1Password on iOS and Android, as well as directions for Bitwarden on iOS and Android.
Security starts with you, the user. Keeping written lists of passwords on scraps of paper, or in a text document on your desktop is unsafe and is easily viewed by prying eyes (both cyber-based and human). Using the same password over and over again across a wide spectrum of systems and web sites creates the nightmare scenario where once someone has figured out one password, they have figured out all your passwords and now have access to every part of your life (system, e-mail, retail, financial, work). 2ff7e9595c
