Salutations Gigi23girls,


Thank you for taking the time to visit the Apple Support Communities! It seems that your Apple Watch is prompting you to enter a passcode randomly. We will be honored to assist you!


If you have enabled the unlock with Watch setting on your iPhone, it will ask you to enter a passcode or use FaceID to unlock iPhone using your Apple Watch. This is a feature with the WatchOS 7.4.1 and later.


Try restarting both devices and proceed with the articles below:


Unlock your iPhone with Apple Watch when you're wearing a face mask


Here is additional information if you do not remember your passcode for your Apple Watch:

Have a good day!
