This problem popped up last night and has now occurred the last three times I
woke my computer from sleep ("suspend") mode.
When I type my password to wake my computer, I get the same dialog box
indicating that authentication is required, and the details indicate
"org.freedesktop.accounts.change-own-user-data". I have clicked "cancel" each
time and was able to resume work without any problems.
I am working on a desktop running Ubuntu 15.10.

Title:
Annoying dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user
data"
Status in policykit-1-gnome package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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.
