What's with the new password requirement?

Is this really necessary? Is there a bypass to avoid entering a password? If not, and if you find or steal my R5 or R5 Mk II, try 999999.

Well, it screwed me over today. Perhaps I didn't understand the complex phrase "Don't Ask Again." I selected that option. I was outside in harsh sunlight, temperature perfect, bees and butterflies everywhere, R5 Mk II at the ready (or so I believed) with the RF 100 macro. Each time I raised the camera to my eye I saw the Enter Password demand. After telling it not to ask again. Difficult to enter even the simple PW in brilliant sunlight. Only after I came in and did an AI search did I learn that the camera has a "Manage Password" item under the yellow menu. That delay cost me some great photos of butterflies in flight. I just hope that the new setting persists. I don't like to hear insects saying "C'mon, idiot, I don't have all day."

Wireless innovation and increasing device connectivity bring new
regulatory challenges...

I wonder if that should read new regulatory opportunities...

We're far afield of cameras and camera solutions, and I acknowledge the tangent I helped set in motion, but nevertheless I agree with you.
