How to stop entering password to run SelfControl software

I run SelfControl on my Mac ... usually have it on for a couple hours a day.

Every time I want to start it, it requires my username and password.

No other software I use ever does this.

How do I stop SelfControl from requiring my username and password? I just want to open the program and go without this extra step.

There is a program called Usable Keychain Scripting. Using this program means you can use iCal events to trigger selfcontrol whenever you like. It also means that you dont have to input your password each time.
