iPhone/watch keeps asking to sign into unknown apple id

I just updated my iPhone OS 13.3. My iPhone and watch now keep getting requests to enter the password for Apple IDs that I have never been associated with, or heard of, or know any of the names in the email addresses. What is going on here, and should I be concerned about the security/privacy issue?

Unknown apple ID requests I have an iPhone X and an iWatch (Series 3). Both purchased new and only ever attached to my appleID. My phone is not jailbroken. I have started getting requests to enter passwords for two other apple ID's I dont recognise. I have no apps recently purchased, none that wont update. I have reset both the phone and the watch with no change. If I dont use the watch, I dont get the sign in requests. I have seen other posts that this seems to be an iwatch OS issue. At present my watch is frustratingly unusable. Does anyone know any other work arounds or fixes.

Multiple requests for password for Apple ID I got a notification yesterday that someone was trying to log into my Apple ID from another location so I changed my password. This morning my iPhone told me to log in again and then told me to change the password again. Now this afternoon my Apple Watch is telling me to enter the password again even though I did already when I change the password this morning. Does anyone have any insights as to what might be going on and how to resolve this? I’m all for security but I don’t want to keep logging in and changing passwords on four devices every day. Thanks in advance!
