Passcode Required for iPhone Backup to iMac

Since updating to Ventura, I have been required to enter my passcode on my iPhone (12 Pro) in order to back up the iPhone to my iMac (2020). Is there a way to turn this off?

This appears to be a new "feature" in iOS/iPdOS 15.7.1 and 16.1 from other reports I saw https://talk.tidbits.com/t/suddenly-having-to-enter-passcode-when-backing-up-an-unlocked-iphone/20376 and https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/trust-this-computer-setting-is-not-saving.


Started happening to me with iPadOS 15.7.1 backing up to my MacBook Pro with Monterey 12.6.1. Now I have to run all over the house finding devices to back them up when it used to just happen. UUUUGH. Everyone annoyed with this please give feedback to Apple at Product Feedback - Apple. They are unlikely to fix it, either stop it or give us a preference to stop it, unless we nag the crap out of them.
