Description
Device: iPad 8th Gen. & iPad Air 2 (iOS 14.2)
This is an issue of functionality and inconvenience. Every time I refresh apps, it asks for my Apple ID & Password, and it fails to background refresh automatically because I'm "not signed in." Yet, on the settings page, it displays my Name, Email, etc. I AM signed in, but I have to keep re-inputting my information.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by reproducing the sign-in and background-refresh behavior on the listed iPad models running iOS 14.2, then trace the authentication state used during app refresh. Done means a signed-in account remains recognized and background refresh no longer requests credentials repeatedly.
