Usually, I only need to use my password when I install a totally new application, right after downloading its dmg installer. I have Mojave on a MacBook Pro from mid-2015 and have never, since installing Mojave, had to enter my password to get an update of those applications you mention. I’m glad it was so simple but I’m wondering why It worked so well on Mojave and so poorly on High Sierra. I did and in about 2 minutes, I was printing. To the point of this thread’s topic, though, I set about to install the Canon Pixma860 printer, and to my amazement it worked just as advertised: I connected the printer via USB cable, turned the printer on, and immediately got a pop-up window asking if I would like to download and install software for the Canon Pixma860 printer. I hope I don’t need to enter passwords every time an update comes down the pike. I must have had to enter an apple id and password about 10 times – even had to do it to install some software updates to Pages, Keynote, etc. So far I think it’s a very nice machine, although In my opinion, the initial setup was EXTREMELY annoying. It was originally released in 2017 (June, I think) but had Mojave 10.14.5 installed on it. This didn't answer your question or issue?
