Bug Description
Authentication is required to update packages.
"This session only" is safer than "Remember authorization"
the dialog is worded in a way that makes it easy to make the wrong selection-- which is why it's a security vulnerability -- there is no obvious way to change the setting if we got it wrong.
Remeber authorization
[]For this session only
[]always.
is probably how it should be read.

Are you using KDE?
I know the bug affects -gnome, but I'm not sure whether it
affects -kde as well.
As the reporter is presumably using packagekit, and so is probably
using KDE, I'm going to confirm the -kde task.
Thanks,
James
