I did some digging and what you were using was polkit "localauthority", which is no longer used in Ubuntu 24.04.
It looks like you might be able to get this functionality back by installing the `polkit-pkla` package, but you'll probably need to migrate your configuration to a regular policykit configuration before the next Ubuntu LTS release or two.
Michael disables asking passwords for sudo, and now you're 1-upping him by just disabling passwords altogether? yikes.
Might I ask why you're doing this and what you're doing where your password is being asked for enough for it to be a problem? Unless I'm trying to sudo something, I'm never asked for my password once I login...

Tonight I upgraded my computer from Kubuntu 22..04 to 24.04. The only
problem I have is the change I made to polkit to disable the constant
nagging for a password. After I rebooted into 24.04, I'm being prompted
for passwords again.
Here's the contents of
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/disable-passwords.pkla
[do anything you want]
Identity=unix-group:user
Action=*
ResultActive=yes
During the upgrade it asked me if I wanted to keep this file. I said
yes. How do I get that functionality back?
Thank you
Jim
