This is also the solution I’ve found works...if you press the little keyboard on your watch a keyboard pops up on my iPad Ivender my Apple password and voila it stops the reminders until the next iOS update...
I tried that with my iPhone in my hand... tap… tap… tap… nada, zilch…GRR! I'd never had to until I changed my AppleID password. Apple could include clearer instructions or they could be buried somewhere on their gazillion of support pages. We just had a watchOS and iOS update, all fine as far. Will keep your solution in mind the next time it happens! Thanks! (May 22, 2020)
Another poster, Wendyk12 said to tap the keyboard icon (right side of the Scribble icon) on the watch face when you see the enter password message and the keyboard popped up on her iPad, she said that worked for her. Maybe try that. I'm all good for now so I can't verify. Good luck!
I dont have an iPad.....wonder if it would happen on my MacBook ??
Gee, I don't know, only saying what the poster said worked for her. I have only used the Watch app on the iPhone.

• It became my solution to not being able to see any iPhone Keyboard to re-enter my Apple ID Password on my (Series 4) Apple Watch for several days (hours of fruitless searching)!
• Go to iPhone(8 in my case)> Settings > Notifications > Apple Watch Keyboard [Banners]. Then:
* Select (check off each circle) of all 3 of the ALERTS [Lock Screen, Notification Center, & Banners]
* Select Banner Style “Persistent” [rather than “Temporary”]
* “Sounds” can be On (green next to white circle selector) or Off.
* Set “Show Previews” to Always
* Set “Notification Grouping” to Automatic
Other options might work - or not - but this combination gave me immediate success. I can turn them off / change them later on. I hope this works for others, too!
OMG .....You have SOLVED the problem! Something the APPLE people couldn't do......Thank You SO MUCH !!!
I’ve answered this several times now and it always works. Every time there’s a new update, the message appears. Just tap the tiny keyboard and a dialogue pops up on your iOS device., for me it’s on my iPad.enter your Apple ID and your in!
I see no where to enter the password
Nope no keyboard pops up on any device I have
Yes, there are two options on the AppleWatch to update: a TINY keyboard and Scribble that show up to update one's password. I was finally able to get my AppleWatch back in use using Scribble on the watch. Also, once the password is set, there is no need to continually update one's password every time there's a WatchOS update, (unless password to AppleID was changed). As for updating the password for AppleWatch on the WatchApp on an iPad, that's news to me as I've not seen the WatchApp on my iPad or AppStore. I must say, Apple doesn't make it very easy!
MuldunE, Wow! What did you do to make it work? Would like to keep this info for the next time it happens.
Jackrabbit181, You might have to read through this timeline. I was able to solve my issue using the Scribble part of that tiny window, writing carefully utilizing a Pogo stylus in several attempts. Never could access the keyboard. Best of luck!
JCLLC, Will copy for future reference. I've noticed "Apple Watch Keyboard" in settings, but never knew what it did. How did you enter your password? Thanks in advance!
i also have is good problem wnet in to seetings > apple id . but these is no place to put in my password.
