This is somehow related to indicator-messages. It has been reported
before at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-
messages/+bug/1192300 but that bug involves a remote authentication
server. I have no such server, so it is similar but not the same.
** Also affects: indicator-messages (Ubuntu)

Title:
Annoying dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user
data"
Status in indicator-messages package in Ubuntu:
New
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.
