This is entirely up to the distro's own PackageKit policy; Discover doesn't have anything to do with it. You can complain to the Ubuntu people. :)

Also please upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04. 18.04 is obsolete at this point. You're using software which is almost three years old.

Hello,
FYI there is no problem when doing a command line update. KDE discover
allows software to download without a password.
I will upgrade the software and see what happens.
Thanks.
