[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1512002@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package accountsservice - 0.6.40-2ubuntu10

---------------
accountsservice (0.6.40-2ubuntu10) xenial; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/change-own-data-inactive.patch:
    - let inactive user sessions update their own datas without
      triggering authentification dialogs. Indicator-messages does that to
      indicate to the greeter that the user received messages, which
      currently leads to auth dialog to be stacked in the locked session,
      thanks Alkis Georgopoulos (lp: #1512002)

  data"

Bug description:
  Every few days a dialog pops up saying "Authentication is required to change your own user data" with an entry field for a password. If I type my user's password the dialog will reappear with an empty entry field. If I click on the cross to close the window many times it will be gone, but reappear a few days later. I don't know what this window is for and it makes no difference whether I close it or leave it. I don't use the gnome keyring.
  This started with Ubuntu 15.04 or maybe with an earlier release, and is still there in Ubuntu 15.10, also on machines I did a fresh install.
