iTunes Password Input keeps popping up

I read an article regarding this very issue. It talked about a virus that looks like the popup, asking for your password. When you give your password, you give access to your account. The article suggested using the settings to key in your password. Be careful

You have no idea how happy I am right now. What a royal pain. This solution has solved my problems. You do need to go and reset your ring-tones, alarms and basics but nothing major lost. THANK YOU!

Got an iPh 7 a few days ago, and now this irritating pop-up message from iTunes or iCloud or iTunes store asking me to log-in every second I cannot use my phone as I cannot do anything except cancel that message.

After reading various blogs and posts, and rebooting, restarting, signing in and out of iTunes and creating new accounts and all that, I realised the message pop ups only happened when I restored my phone from a previous back up (which did NOT have the problem). It did not happen when I set my phone as a NEW phone.

That was no good to me as I needed all my contacts etc.

Finally today, a solution (fingers crossed but that annoying message hasn't appeared in 2 hours):

Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings (the very top option).

I do not know if resetting network options etc will work but I wasn't willing to take the risk anymore.

I lost my settings for alarms, ring tones, etc, but I still have all my messages, contacts, photos, apps and all.

I know some fixes help only some gadgets. This (hopefully) worked for mine.

Anybody else have this problem or know why this would happen?
