iTunes: multiple "sign in" required on launch
iTunes 12 requires me to sign in on 4 screens each time I launch the app on my macbook pro... to access cloud (which I don't use), access account, check for downloads, and something else also. Why am I prompted to sign in so many times? Is there a way to minimize this? I'm generally only attempting to update my podcast library for my iPod, not making purchases. Using strong passwords so this is a real pain in the neck. I don't want to save passwords because this is on a computer shared in the home. I searched preferences and found no solution. I did a broader search on web (and in apple community) but found nothing similar.
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), iTunes 12.0.1.26
