Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20181110
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.3
Qt Version: 5.11.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0
Kernel Version: 4.18.15-1-default

When auto-mounting an encrypted USB drive, it asks for the encryption password and if that is correct, it asks for the root password to perform the mount. When manually mounting the same drives, the root password is not required. This is the expected behaviour.

I also started to notice the same bug, but my disk is not external nor encrypted. It is a SSD system installed disk.

I attached a pic of the nagging dialog I get each time I login after a bootup, asking me for my root password. See pic snap-01.png

This never happen before, but showed up a few weeks backs and I was just ignoring it at first.

I initially opened this as a KDE bug, but was told this is a openSUSE bug and was pointed to this one.

Where did you report this to KDE? Could you link the bugs.kde.org issue?

If any of you are like me (capable of filing and following bug reports but not necessarily remediating the problem reliably yourself) luckily an easy solution exists. https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-can-i-provide-authorization-to-mount-internal-drives-at-boot-automatically/3329/8?u=rokejulianlockhart explains.
