Q: How can I stop iTunes from prompting me for my password every time I open it?

Every time I open iTunes I am prompted four times to enter my Apple ID password. Now I know that this is because I have automatic downloads enabled but it never used to do this when I had iTunes 11, only happened since I've had iTunes 12.

Short of turning off Automatic Downloads, is there a way that I can get iTunes to stop prompting me for my password?

iTunes, Windows 7, iTunes 12.1.0.71

Hi mikehoft,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand that you are receiving repeated prompts to sign in with your account when you open iTunes on your Windows computer. It sounds like to me, because you mention Automatic Downloads, that you are being prompted to authorize your account. If this is the case, I would recommend working through all of the troubleshooting, in order, in the attached article to resolve this issue.
