There are 4 things I do to prevent this problem:
1. I use Glary Utilities (http://www.glarysoft.com/) which has a Startup Manager that allows me to disable any applications that I don't want to launch automatically with Windows 7.
2. I followed the suggestions at http://www.tweakhound.com/tweaking-windows-7/8/ to disable as many Windows or application services that I don't need, which may automatically start up with Windows 7.
3. I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free Edition (https://www.malwarebytes.org/free/) to run regular scans which should capture anything that is causing the pop-ups. Glary Utilities mentioned earlier will also do a cleanup of registry and other unwanted software.

what keeps popping up? what do you need to configure? what are you doing which needs a password?
i'm not sure if you have any bugs or if you just have lots of software installed and are getting confused by things popping up.
did you buy this computer used? what brand is it?
do you have a windows disk with it? what windows version? how old is the computer? are you comfortable installing windows yourself?

i think on windows 8 if you hit control+alt+delete, there is a tab for startup. Maybe you have a bunch of programs launching automatically when windows starts. For me, i dont want skype and steam and all origin and my antivirus all loading right when i start the computer because it slows down the boot. having a bunch of programs running could also very likely be causing messages as popups. disable unwanted programs from that startup list. in the control panel uninstall software you dont want or use anymore. keep antivirus up to date and scan once a week. if it feels rouge and the popups are bad, not programs, you could have malware and something like malwarebytes could be the solution

4. I use Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition (2014) (http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/free.html) for real-time virus protection. Malwarebytes Pro also has real-time spyware/malware protection but I don't need to run both at same time, and Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition (2014) uses the least memory.
