    Constantly asking to log in with Apple ID

    See attached, I'm constantly getting this and I've logged in 30 times probably. Same issue on my MacBook Pro as my iMac. Anyone else seeing this? It goes away for a second after a couple entries but then comes back as a badge and wants me to put in my password again. Driving me crazy.
