Title:
  Update Manager ran this morning and never asked for password.

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The update icon appeared on the dash and when I clicked on it, it did the update and never asked for a password.
  I am the only user on this install and I am the admin, so maybe this is OK, but if someone else was on my PC, they could do updates even if I didn't want to. I know I should lock my screen when I leave but that can be over looked, (human error) so this operation should force a login.
