I had the same issue, and what worked for me was checking the Apple account associated with the email in the pop-up. Here’s what I did:

1. Sign in to the Apple ID account (using the email shown in the pop-up) at appleid.apple.com.

2. Check the list of trusted devices under “Account Security”

3. I found that my MacBook was unexpectedly linked to that Apple ID.

4. Removed the MacBook from the account and logged out.

5. After doing this, the pop-up stopped appearing on the secondary user profile.

This may help if your device is mistakenly associated with a different Apple ID. Hope this helps!
