When I log back into my laptop I find a window telling me to update my apple ID password for this AKAuthorizationRemoteViewService application.
Can you help me understand what it is for? My laptop is personal, it does not belong to any company.
Authentication Services | Apple Developer Documentation
It is an Apple Service and is typically used to authenticate iCloud, Apple ID, and other Apple services.
Often related processes including AKAuthorizationRemoteView (often with “Safari”, “Messages”, “Mail”, or similar apps included) are processes that run related to authentication services on the Mac, often with other apps or services.
Occasionally, if you discover that akd or AKAuthorizationRemoteView service are running with a lot of CPU usage, it’s often because there’s a temporary blip in logging in or authenticating, or, as I recently discovered, if you change an Apple ID password you may see these processes spin up and run too.
