I will never understand how it's more secure to:

- prompt me for my password to approve downloading an OS update/upgrade

- prompt me for my password to approve the installation of said update/upgrade

- prompt me for my password immediately after watching the progress bar for 20 minutes

- prompt me for my password again for the hell of it

- prompt me for my password to login (I'm fine with this one)

- prompt me for my password again for whatever else was related to the update/upgrade

FUUUU
