@seb128, thanks for releasing the fix, but it appears that not all the patch from comment #36 was applied:
-      <allow_any>auth_self</allow_any>
-      <allow_inactive>auth_self</allow_inactive>
+      <allow_any>yes</allow_any>
+      <allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>

<allow_any> is still "auth_self" in accountsservice 0.6.40-2ubuntu10,
and I think that it takes priority over <allow_inactive>, so the problem
still persists and can be reproduced as described in comment #36.

Could you please re-release the fix while applying the whole patch?
Thank you!

Title:
  Annoying dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user
  data"

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:

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.
