Description of problem:
I have recently upgraded from Fedora 42 KDE to Fedora 43 KDE and found that my USB stick that I always leave connected on my PC was not mounting automatically anymore. I then went into the System Settings and on Device Auto-Mount, I marked both “On Login” and “On Attach” options. But after restarting I got prompted to enter my password to mount the USB stick. When I click on "Details" in the prompt, it shows that it is an Action of Mounting the filesystem and the ID is org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount.

The thing is: I already had to log in through SDDM so I don’t see the sense in asking for my user password once again. And if I just hit “Cancel” on the prompt and use either Dolphin or the System Tray to mount the USB stick, I can do it without being asked for a password at all. I also ran udisksctl -b /dev/sdd and it mounted the USB stick without asking for a password.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
System Settings: 6.6.0-1.fc43
Udisks2: 2.11.0-1.fc43

How reproducible:
Always happens.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to System Settings
2. Go to Device Auto-Mount
3. Find the USB stick connected
4. Mark "On Login" and "On Attach".
5. Reboot

Alternative (without rebooting):
1. Go to System Settings
2. Go to Device Auto-Mount
3. Find the USB stick connected
4. Mark "On Login" and "On Attach".
5. If the USB stick is mounted, dismount it.
6. Log out.
7. Unplug and Plug again the USB stick.
8. Log in

Actual results:
I log in and a prompt appears asking for my password to mount the device.

Expected results:
The USB stick should be mounted without asking for password after I log in.
