Background-Story: I did a "flatpak update" on a remote client and every package wants the PW for downloading and for installing again. I had to enter the password like 30 times or more.

For every sever install I've had, flatpak defaults to the system install which requires a password. You have to explicity pass the --user flag.

I'm not sure how to make it the default

Remove --system repos and install them as --user. For me it defaults to --user

Thats probably still not possible over ssh.
