I only get the password prompt when attempting a new installation such as new kernel images during pre-release and this is expected. Imagine a user leaves it's laptop for two minutes alone in a cafe or at home, anyone who immediately has access to it could install anything, it's much faster to reach since it's located in system settings on the desktop. I can't test update-manager icon in the notification area since it never displayed.
