The user above also reported, 'After resetting my Apple ID password, a mark indicating 'Items requiring configuration' appeared in the Settings app, so I tapped it. A setting called 'Update Apple ID Settings' appeared. When I tapped 'Continue', the mark disappeared and I was no longer asked to sign in.'
