It is a matter of accounts. You only get that message if you are the account owner. To me it is sounding like multiple people are sharing an account and somebody signing in elsewhere is triggering that message (that is normal behavior).


Your solution is really to set up different accounts for each person since that is how it is designed to be done. You are working against Apple's basic account functions and security protection. At worst only you should normally see that message.


I don't know if you could prevent this from happening if you made sure cookies were enabled from Apple and not deleted in the browser. Some browsers automatically delete them.
