    Same here, anyone find out what the source of this is? It happens after coming back from sleep mode. Also my superuser password is not accepted.

    Same observation here on a fresh install of Loki, at the latest today. I got 5 windows with the request to authenticate.
    There is a bug code allocated ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/appcenter/+bug/1617687 ) to this but no solution as far as i know.

    Update: the problem only appears for me after suspend, shut down the screen ( the other power management option for plugged in).
