I thought I should change my apple id to reflect my new email address. I'm not even in the store and it will randomly ask me for my pswd for my old id. I reset it but still happens. I'm at a loss!

From your device go to Settings \ iTunes & App Stores, click on your ID. Log out and then log in again making sure to enter the correct password. Do the same for all your iOS devices.

I hope this helps.

Also, depending on what you used that Apple ID for, it could be validating the password for any number of things:

Email account
iTunes store account
iCloud account
PhotoStream account

Logging in and out didn't help. The IPhone is my only device until I pull the trigger on an iPad or mini. It's Id for iTunes years ago. The last post didn't seem to quite apply. These almost 40 eyes could see the page on the phone. Think that would work?
