How can I stop 'Sign in with Apple ID' prompts for a different account on Mac?

The Prompt "Sign in with Apple ID" appears on the screen of my MacBook Air frequently and at irregular intervals. But it's not my Apple ID, it's my wife's.


How can I get rid of this annoying irritation?

Thanks for your reply, D.I.


It's Sequoia 15.3.1.


My wife basically doesn't use this computer. However, it is possible she has used it on occasion for some reason, perhaps when her own iMac was unavailable. If so, she would have logged on under my name, but then accessed her Apple account on it. I will have to check with her and then try following your advice.
