I think it happens when, for whatever reason, your device looses contact with ICloud for a period of time, then reconnects. It only wants you to re-enter your password, so it can make sure the device that is connecting, using your ICloud account really is you.

After my son passed away I began getting this but did not have the password. After almost a year of saying “not now”, the phone locked up and unless I can get a court order there is no possibility of unlocking it. So take the time to enter the password and then call Apple Accessibility to find out why it is happening.

Is this necessary and why all of a sudden is this coming up? I have just been hitting the not now button, but wondered if someone might know what is up with this?
