Why must I often enter my password?

Question

So, I launch Settings on my iPad and poke iCloud in the left pane (it shows my email address for iCloud).  On the right pane it shows my name and email address in the first block.  Then Storage underneath, the iCloud Drive, etc below that.  On the top block there is a ">" symbol.  I poke that and it slides right to another screen.  If everything is working I see contact information and so on.  But more often than not I don't see that and am forced to enter my iCloud PW.  What is that about?  If I have to frequently enter iCloud PW then iCloud becomes a pretty useless feature, due to the hassle factor.  How do I keep everything connected to the cloud?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
