User Profile Sync Service stuck on ‘Starting’

Cause

Farm account password was changed recently. It was only changed on application pool but was not applied globally via SharePoint CA.


Resolution

The password for the farm and UPA account was changed
The change was made directly from the IIS manager and not from the SharePoint Central Administration
Browsed to ‘CA > Security > Configure Managed accounts’ and applied the new password for the account.
We granted the required permissions for the account in order to start the User Profile Synchronization Service
Started the UPA Sync service successfully.
