What happened?!?!

Have had my Tap speaker for almost two months. Was having an issue with Alexa telling me there was a "line in" and I couldnt do anything but do a hard reset on the speaker. Now Alexa is making me put my password in EVERY time I turn the app on!!! Never had to do that before. Was this an update of some sort?! Becoming agitated quickly!!!
