I am always being asked by the System to login to my Apple ID to update settings.
I have to do this everytime I log into my Mac.
After I have entered all the passwords, i.e. Apple ID password, Mac password, iPhone PIN, it will still ask me later for the same things. Sometimes there will be multiple requests.
I have been using Catalina since beta. It has always been a problem.
Please advise.
Thanks,
David.

Do you have an iOS device running iOS 13.x?
In my case there was a direct correlation between waking my iPhone
and the notification badge popping up and subsequent "Update AppleID".
The signing out and signing back in did absolutely nothing.
The solution I found, was to disable the "Find My" in iCloud settings
on my Mac. After that, no more stinking badges and it has been two
days now. There must be a bug in the "Find My" app on Catalina.
On a desktop, the temporary fix is probably not a big issue but
on a laptop, which one could carry most anywhere and get it stolen
or lost, that ca be a big issue.
To see if it is your particular issue, simply go through the "update"
nonsense, then sleep your iDevice and then wake it. For me it would
be a matter of seconds before the notification badge popped up
on my Mac.

woodmeister50 - I turned off "Find my" on my iPhone and Mac and this solution removed the continual iCloud "Update AppleID" and it has also stopped the relentless requests for passwords by accountsd and sharedsd.
this is a great spot
Thanks
Try signing out and signing in again.
That seems to have fixed this issue for me..
You should be able to leave it on on your iPhone without issues
and still be able to locate your iDevices. I only disabled my iMac
and left it on on my iPhone 11 Pro and my iPhone 8 (now a glorified iPod).
Tried to do this, but it won't let me untick Photos to fully logout
