iPhone keeps asking me for authentication

Anytime I try to do anything on any app even the iPhone apps or even if I'm just on the home screen I get a pop up that I asked for authentication and it doesn't specify what kind of authentication I just asked her username but I'm not sure for what and why

Please close out all open safari tabs. then close out all applications. Once this is done go to Settings > Safari > Clear all website data.

After that, restart the iphone and you should be good to go. what you're seeing is unwanted pop ups. this is the way to get rid of them. do not click on any of the links please.
