This has been happening now quite often, maybe once a month I'll get a message asking for me to change my Apple ID password. I thought this is because someone is trying to gain access to my account but could there be another reason as this happens a lot and I'm sure no one is that eger to gain access to my account.
Any feedback would be helpful as it getting annoying now that it has to be changed this much!
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.4

Yes, but that might be the problem, once upon a time Apple didn't require a password to meet the requirements I posted.

Are you saying you have already changed the password at some point recently, in that case the password should be good, you might try signing out of and back into your account.
Yes so I've changed my password about 5 times because Apple said I need to change it, few times I thought it's someone attempting to access my account or I had been hacked but I just don't think it would of happened 5 times after changing it that someone would be trying to hack me again.
So after changing it that many times after been asked last night it asked me again to change it!
Would the only reason apple is asking me to do this is because someone is attempting to gain access to my iCloud?
Have you tried to change your apple id? It seems you should do this and. Look at this article for some help Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Perhaps Apple ID support can answer your question and provide some suggestions to avoid the password changes.
There is a contact link.
They will also ask you to change it if they feel it isn't secure enough. They like to see a password of at least 8 characters that includes numbers and both upper and lower case letters.

Why does Apple keep asking me to change my password?
