I keep getting asked to enter in my Apple ID password on my devices (iMac, iPad, iPhone). After doing so, it tells me my account is locked, and then I have to go though the security questions to unlock it and enter in my password again. It's happened three times in the last four days, and about six or seven over the last three weeks.

Is anyone else having this issue?
 
Yes, on my iphone SE. It had something to do with the phone wanting to install an official update. Updated and the password requests stopped. Your issue could be different though.

As it is happening across all devices, maybe your account has been comprimised. Is best to login via Apples website to see if there is anything that looks dodgey.

Had to call up Apple. They said there was an 'issue' with my account and told me they would 'upgrade' me to two-factor verification, and then guided me to do it on the phone. 🤦‍♂️ Probably not allowed to say someone's trying to hack my account or that they have a server issue.
