Likely because you made a change somewhere.

Click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen and select "System Preferences." ...
Select "Security and Privacy." ...
If needed, toggle over to the "General" tab.
Untick the box labeled "Requires Password." ...
Enter your Mac's password in the pop-up window.
