Okay, I have a question. AppleID and pw non-withstanding, I have experienced the following. I played Where's my water2 recently and came to the end where you have to pay to get additional levels. No biggie, I did this with the first game as well. But, when I clicked the in app purchase and entered my password I was prompted with a pop saying I needed to answer my 3 security questions next. Of course I hit cancel and not okay right there. I have never seen that an app requests the security questions when making an in app purchase. Granted it's been a while since I last made one. Can anyone tell me if this is supposed to be normal now? I tried to talk to Disney's support but of course no answer there...

It seems Apple is keen to push the 3 security question setup after a while on app store interactions, it's probably just unfortunate that it appeared during an in-app purchase interaction.

  I know this is older but just in case some one experienced the same thing, the above mentioned is true. I experienced this on iTunes on my PC quite a while ago. And since then I have not made any purchases from the iOS device itself. I buy through the PC and then sync to my devices because of slow internet. So now, basically when I tried to make an IAP, I got the same popup. I first thought it was the app that wanted to know my details but it really is Apple. I got this out of the way by purchasing a small, 99ct app directly from my Device. So I went into the AppStore, bought the app and the same popup came up. Since this was now in the official Apple Appstore app, I answered two of my questions, downloaded the app and now, this popup is gone and I can make IAP all I like.

I had the same request from inside one of Apple's apps. I think Apple just want you to update your security questions. I logged into the AppleID site, appleid.apple.com, and updated the questions there. Relaunched the app and no more questions. I think you get 3 or 4 tries before they lock your account, I had gotten 1 question wrong 2x an didn't want the account locked because of a typo.

  That sounds right. Although since I haven't entered my security question directly in that app, I was not asked to update them from any other App. It just felt weird that a non Apple app suddenly asked for these things. I do use Find my Friends semi regularly in which you also login with your appleid password but so far there was never a message saying I needed to enter my security questions... weird.
