Password Requirement for install from Ubuntu Software Center

Does anybody know how to make Software center just install whatever is available without asking for a password every so often? What I mean is I click install, I mean to install it not be asked for my password repeatedly like it does.. It is kind of an irritating thing especially if you are installing a lot of software from there...

Yep that's what I seen/tried first, seems all they can do is complain about security when the fact is that software center is setup to use only the ubuntu repository initially which should not have security issues...

Use Synaptic instead... only asks for password when i start it which really should be how the 'software center' works.....
