Can confirm.

It may be also installing a new runtime, and it asks for authentication for each one, rather than batching them up.
Comment 2 Aleix Pol 2022-09-14 21:52:19 UTC 
This will need further investigation, but my bet is that we are adding the remote (password 1) and then installing the app (password 2).

It occurs to me that in such cases we could default to adding bundles in the user's installation (which would mean 0 password prompts).

I have just been asked for the password three times doing a larger update which included a flatpak.
