Hi,
Have a "new" Iphone Se 3, an 8th Gen Ipad and older Ipad. All updated to appropriate
latest os. All are tied to same account. However, only my 10th Gen Ipad regularly (maybe once/ twice per week) asks me to input my password. Any views as to why the hardware and not the account needs "reassurance"--- it is a nuisance, minor, but irritating.
I believe you’re saying regarding your iPads, you have two different iPads both associated with the same Apple ID. That should never occur, as each individual, regardless of age, should have her/his own, unique Apple ID.
Perhaps that’s the reason for the sign in requests. In any event, the Apple ID situation should be rectified immediately.
Start by getting a new Apple ID for one of you.

The person acquiring the new ID should then thoroughly cleanse her/his Apple device(s) as follows:
What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Then that person “moves in” to the like-new (software-wise) device(s).
Perhaps this will apply.

You seem to have contradicted yourself as follows. That likely explains the issue.
These contradict each other:
Typographical error, it is my 8th gen iPad only which is causing the issue / requesting entrance of password. I use the newer IPad and IPhone and spouse uses older iPad. Both of us use the iPads for very similar tasks/ apps. As a non technical person I would have thought it more logical for newest Device to have such issues.
When I referred to my spouse using the older ipad, I did not make it clear that it was a "hand down" to her on my buying the newer 10th generation one. She never was nor wants to have a separate Apple ID-- nor does she need one. Her tech needs are minimal and are confined to reading newspaper articles, using a common (with me) email address, and web surfing. She does not shop online , nor need a separate email identity. In reality the issue here is that I for all intents and purposes own and operate 2 ipads and an iphone, and for some reason have in last few months have been receiving prompts/ barriers requesting password re-entry on ONE device only. There are surely numerous operators in the Apple Garden who use up to 4 or five devices.
While appreciating your assistance I will continue with the irritation rather than going down the route of separate IDs etc to circumvent Apples paranoia on identity/ privacy. In our case less is more !
Thanks
