For about a week now I am getting random prompts to enter my Apple ID & Password to sign in to iCloud. It doesn't appear to be preceded by any specific replicable action, but it is getting annoying. It seems to accept my password when I enter it, but a while later it'll ask again.
I am using the latest versions of iOS & OSX. Anyone else experiencing this?
When you get the prompt, are you signed into iCloud?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Move the following to the Trash and restart.
Close all running apps. Put the following items in the trash:
1) In the ~/Library/ folder, put the Caches folder in the trash.
2) In the ~/Library/Application Support/ folder, put the folder iCloud in the trash.
3) In the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder, put the file MobileMeAccounts.plist in the trash.

It's happening only on my iPhone - not my Macbook or iPad. It also happens completely randomly, or at least I've thusfar been unable to recognize any kind of pattern or replicable set of steps preceding the prompt.
