Airplay password

My Mac just started asking me for the password to use Airplay to share a video with my TV set. It didn't do this before. Is this new with Catalina 10.15.7, which I just upgraded to? I don't have that password anymore, and can't find it in my Keychain. How can I reset the Airplay or Apple TV password? (I also used to be able to share directly to my TV using Apple TV, without entering any passwords).

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Possibly a user or an update reset the password requirement. It is not about changes on the AirPlay sending devices, but about a change on the AirPlay receiving device.

Goto Apple TV: Settings﹥AirPlay﹥Allow Access﹥Require Password﹥On|Off
