Q: Apple Update Language

I am curious.

 

Is it required to update your apple id via the iCloud web page in safari?

 

When I log into iCloud using safari, it prompts me to update my security information.  The popup window says, "You must verify your identity to make this change."  However, I am not making a change.  I am simply attempting to login.  I do not recognize the security questions, so I just passed.  I didn't proceed with logging in or making a change because I decided to wait until later (at home on my normal network that allows me to receive and sent e-mail through mail app).  Strangely, when I logged into this discussion board, using my apple id and password, I was not prompted to update.  I don't want to update, especially when I am just checking mail.  Is this legitimate, and if so, why am I only hearing about it at login?

 

Again, just curious with a mild case of suspicion,
