You need to modify the policykit configuration. Currently there isn't any graphical configuration tool.
So create a file in /etc/polkit-
[Me]
Identity=
Action=
ResultActive=Yes
Change USERNAME with the name of your user. This will allow you to perform any software management task without having to provide your password.

This makes no sense. What and where are you saying to create? My system is going slow because I cannot update my system. It says I can be authenticated. This is frustrating.
Can you help with this problem?
