Password request frequency is slightly alarming

As of late , after awaking from sleep mode, the Action Center is requesting me
to re-enter my password. I am clueless as to why this is happening.

The only change is that I cancelled my MS Office 365 [P6] subscription.

Maybe the unlinking? of [original1@original1.onmicrosoft.com] from [original1@live.com]
is causing this behavior. Dunno?

I had used the onmicrosoft as my Win8 login account and had a few problems with that.
So I deleted that 'user' and created a new one with the .live email.

But that was more than a year ago. It's not the end of the world or anything, just a
bit annoying and worrisome that it may be a 'bogus' pop-up in Action Center.

TIA for any help.

In action center, go to change action center settings and in security messages uncheck Microsoft account. Also if you haven't already done so, go into user accounts in your control panel, click on make changes to my account in PC settings and you can disable requiring a password when waking your PC.
