I had the same issue, but I was so paranoid that I would always cancel out and not put in my password. I'm 95% sure it was legit, but randomly asking my password for seemingly no reason made me paranoid.

Yeah, If i get a password prompt and I didn't do anything to "initiate" it, then i'm not typing my password in. I've never had anything fail using this behavior so I feel I'm safe.

"feel" being the operative word here - am I safer? Who knows?
