Suddenly asked to enter Apple-ID password while browsing Instagram

My first thought was an app update needing authentication. Or, similarly, perhaps an in-app purchase attempting to restore.

Have (either of) you logged out of the App Store, signed back in, and used your device long enough to assume the problem is corrected?

I’ve tried this many times. I’ve even tried using my phone signed out of App Store but this pop up still appears.

I didn't log out yet. The only thing I did was re-install the Instagram app about 2 weeks ago and so far, I didn't have this issue again. But then again, maybe the issue isn't even Instagram-specific and it also happened very rarely (about once a month).

I don’t know if anyone still has this issue, but it seemed to have gotten fixed a few iOS updates ago. I haven’t seen this since June/july.

Yup, same here. It's been a long time since I had this issue luckily!!
