Hi, new to kubuntu. How do I get all the software to update automatically without having to enter my password every time in "Discover".

Welcome.
-> System Settings -> System Administration -> Software Update
-> Update software: -> choose Automatically
should do the trick.
I would also suggest to enable "Use offline updates:".Debian KDE & LXQt • Kubuntu & Lubuntu • openSUSE KDE • Windows • macOS X
Desktop: Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s • Laptop: Apple MacBook Pro 13" • and others
get rid of Snap script (20.04 +) • reinstall Snap for release-upgrade script (20.04 +)
install traditional Firefox script (22.04 +) • install traditional Thunderbird script (24.04) -
I often hear about it, but I am not familiar with "offline updates.'I would also suggest to enable "Use offline updates:".
Trying to think it through.
It must mean that you have downloaded the updates in a file, and then you can invoke that file offline/whenever to install those updates? Googling didn't really spell it out.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles BukowskiComment

Qqmike When in System Settings, scroll down to the bottom and select Software Update. To the right of the check box for Use offline updates: there is a small circled i. Put your mouse cursor on it and you will see:
Actions to be taken on downloaded packages will occur during a reboot, not while the OS 'active'. This is to minimize any possible conflicts that might occur with a Live OS.Offline updates maximize system stability by applying changes while restarting the system. Using this update mode is strongly recommended.Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007
