"Authentication Required" dialog box

Hello Everyone,

I'm running an updated Fedora 44 workstation with the GNOME desktop
environment.

If I use dnf to make any package changes (e.g. install), a dialog box
opens up a few seconds after the install completes asking me to
authenticate with a local user account that has sudo privileges. I
enter my creds, hit enter and the box goes away. A second later it
opens again asking me to type in my creds again. 

I also see it pop open when I haven't made any package changes. So,
something happened on the system to trigger it. I'll be damned if I
know what it was (I never care enough to poke around to check...I
choose to stay annoyed...lol).

This has been happening to me for a few releases now, even on systems
where I've done fresh installs.

Why does this infuriating dialog box pop up and how the hell do I stop
it? I've seen mention online that it's a PackageKit bug. But, that
doesn't seem plausible since it's happening release after release.
