iPhone 13 iPhone mirroring keeps requesting authenication

[Mainsail]

If I log out or restart my Mac, I need to re-authenicate to use iPhone mirroring. It is as if I reset iPhone access and need to set up mirroring access.....like I am using it for the first time. Is this normal? Anyone else having this issue?

iPhone Mirroring: Use your iPhone from your Mac - Apple Support

With iPhone Mirroring, you can wirelessly interact with your iPhone and its apps and notifications from your Mac. Your iPhone stays locked, so no one else can access it or use it to see what you’re doing.

there are settings in the iPhone Mirroring app that offer options like "Ask Every Time" and "Authenticate Automatically". What do your settings currently show?

I have it set on Authenticate Automatically, but it keeps reverting back to Ask Every Time.

Update: I just tried it after having the Mac closed for a couple of hours, and the mirroring worked fine without asking me to authenticate again......so, maybe I screwed up before....don't know.

I have mine set to automatically authenticate, and it wants me to unlock my iPhone EVERY TIME. This kind of defeats the purpose of being able to mirror without having the phone nearby.
