Why does my iPhone keep asking me to enter my password

Why does my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air keep asking me to enter my password? I think I've had to enter my password 3 or 4 times on each device tonight. It happens in the middle of a text, or when I'm playing a game, and it's getting VERY annoying. Is there a way to turn this off?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

"So I heard back from Apple today, apparently the Apple support lady’s phone starting doing the same thing too lol. Apple support said engineers will add a fix in a future software update."

Troubleshooting a Continuum of Password Prompts:


A. Update Error:

Have you just installed an update today? Apple pulled the update noticing many flaws in it. So, way a couply of days for the update to be re-released.


B. Verify your Devices:
