For me the problem is there are check boxes to remember passwords that just don’t work.

“You could add yourself to the root group in /etc/group if you are really desperate to do this.”
I assume this is directed to my comment? If it was, speaking as a computer illiterate, it’s not an issue of desperation rather one of intuition, that being an auto pop-up should work without having to take any other action. Thank you for the information though.
No, it was directed at the OP. Technically, I would never recommend this for anyone, but he seems to have his heart set on it. 
I think we’re overthinking the solution here. The way to make Discover stop asking for your password is to change to this global setting:
System Settings → Software Update → Update software: Automatically
Then Discover will never ask for your password with updates, it’ll just download and then ask to reboot. When it does, it’ll install the packages without any user intervention. Plus, this is much more stable as the system won’t be updated right under your feet as with the “Manually” setting.

I know you think I am just trolling you, but this would do what you want. You would still have to login at the SDDM screen, but once logged in, you would not have to put in a password. Try it for a few days and see if it is what you want. If you decide you don’t like it, take it back out. No harm, no foul.

According to the undermentioned, it looks like it used to work:
However, it hasn’t worked for at least 2 years for me. Does anyone know whether its inoperability is being tracked anywhere?
I ask because it’d render the undermentioned somewhat of less priority:
