You have to use your appleID to make purchases. Could it be asking for that? Make sure you go to settings---icloud---sign out at the bottom.
 
There is a bug in iOS 8. I've been experiencing it for a while now. What you need to do is sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in, but make sure the first letter of your email address is not capitalized. It has to be lowercase and the issue will go away. There are plenty of posts on Apple's community support website.

I was being asked to sign in about 10 times a day. Now the issue has gone away for a week now after doing what I mentioned above.
 
Happens to me some days. I do use iCloud, I am signed in, I repeatedly sign in when prompted, and I don't have any upper-case characters in my username or password.

that is normal then. If she constantly toggles her apple ID on and off, it will ask for the password each time. The same is true when you restart your phone.

dont understand when you say toggles her apple id on and off she doesnt, she doesnt use icloud to backup on her phone she does that through the laptop so icloud is never switched on, my phone enever ask for my icloud id when i switch on
