This box that pops up and asks you to put in your password will randomly pop up on my screen when I’m not trying to purchase anything or log into anything to do with my Apple ID. Or it will be a notification that says Verification Required and then it wants me to do the same thing and put in my password.
iPhone XR, iOS 16
