Im a single woman and I live alone, for the love of all that's holy...PLEASE...

stop asking me for my password so often. It's so irritating. I have a primary password to login, I don't need anything else. I don't have children. I don't feel I should be subjected to all these parental safeguards if I don't have children. Please consider allowing us to bypass all of these password entries. I'm tired of typing a password in every 15 mins. Its extremely annoying. Thank you

Perhaps you've gotten more than enough scam phishing & other spam

that may be the real problem.. Official Apple does none of that, at all.
