phone just made me reset password

We have been seeing this lately quite a bit - as you can see from the several discussions below

https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?facet=content&type=discussion&sort=rel evanceDesc&showAnsweredFirst=true&q=chan…

What we have thus far stumbled on:

1. It is not a malware attack or scam

2. It is most likely an iOS bug

3. You can cancel and make it go away

4. Or you can change your password - then once done - go back in and change to another password and force restart the phone

See this thread for info:

Re: I was just prompted to change my passcode within the next 60 minutes on my iPhone 6?? Ive never had this occur, please help!

Hi

Are you sure its not your PASSCODE its asking you to change

Just change your passcode to a 6 digit one.

I did this about 6 months ago no problems .

Cheers
