One-Time Password Prompt for Software Removal #3355

Problem:
When removing software from the COSMIC app store, I am repeatedly prompted for my password. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, especially when removing multiple applications.

Solution:
Implement a one-time password prompt for software removal. After entering the password once, the user should not be prompted again until they attempt to install new software or make significant system changes.

Alternatives Considered:

No password prompt: While this would eliminate the need for repeated password entries, it could pose a security risk if unauthorized users have access to the system.

Password prompt for every action: This would provide maximum security but would be highly inconvenient for users performing frequent actions like software removal.

Additional Context:
I have observed that other desktop environments and app stores handle password prompts for software removal more efficiently, requiring only a single confirmation or password entry.

I think this should be reported to the COSMIC store repository instead.
