Pine/Alpine consider the secure and insecure connections to be two separate connections for the purpose of reusing the password. The reason is so that you won't connect securely to a host and then later inadverdently connect insecurely with your password supplied automatically. There is a bit of overkill to prevent that but not too much. The second login should then not need to ask you.
