MS Account requests ID confirmation frequently

Ok, the Additional settings option, have you tried turning that on to see if the constant prompts stop?

Nope, nuttin' there. I read and clicked and so far, nothing even remotely related to proving my ID.

I'm not too sure any of that would apply since it's from 2016. I read it, and it's really convoluted and I would hate to try what he said.

Just a thought, worth looking at if the OP has nothing better

That is why I am happy to have the built-in fingerprint reader. I don't have to type in my pin or password when windows bugs me for ID confirmation. I am not so good at typing anymore but if I did not use fingerprint reader, I would use a pin instead which is much shorter than my password and not stored on your computer. Just a security precaution on windows part but can be a nuisance.
