Background-Story: I did a “flatpak update” on a remote client and every package wants the PW for downloading and for installing again. I had to enter the password like 30 times or more.

    I update flatpak through ssh and haven’t had this issue. I think you installed it system wide and not for the user, since with user you don’t need password at all

    E: From the comments it looks like they didn’t use sudo to update either. With it it would’ve asked once. With --user that wouldn’t have been necessary ofc.
