Ok... However it previously asked for password and no settings were
changed. Also the duplicate bug is from 11.04 which would seem to be odd
that it is the same exact bug...

Title:
  No password needed for installing updates

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When installing updates through update-manager it does not ask for password even though it should.
  Updates do install correctly however it is a security issue that it does not prompt for password.
  When installing updates via the terminal it still prompts for password with apt as it should.
