ever since i updated my iphone13 and iMac to ventura, every time i connect my phone to my iMac which is every night, i have to put my passcode on my phone to trust my computer.
never had this problem before how many times do i have to trust my computer?
iMac, macOS 10.12
Thank you for your response, i appreciate that you took the time to write this.
I can understand security, but i have already trusted my computer, each device has a unique signature and should be able to recognize that it's already trusted, I'm not traveling abroad or would i ever use a public charging station, it's the same device i connect to every night, hopefully apple will fix this or at least give it's customers a way to decide for themselves if they need that level of security.
Again thank you.

Sadly, every single time. Why? Well, it's about security. Apple is doing its best to protect its customers. There was a feature in earlier iOS versions to block USB and that option is now removed in favor of having it require the passcode every time. To enable a USB connection you have to authenticate every time.
Have you ever been traveling internationally and seen those public phone charging stations? Some of them are not just DC power they have hacker devices that make a USB connection, deploy an exploit that hacks an iPhone and grabs all your data. You plug into what you think is a free charging station and it pops up asking for your passcode, you know something is NOT RIGHT.
Various governments, intelligence agencies, and police have hardware devices (one of which is called a GrayKey) that use exploits to crack into an iPhone over the Lightning port. It's a real threat for those who live or travel through countries with repressive regimes. Did you notice the new Lockdown mode? That is intended for people who are under aggressive cyber attacks. Such as journalists, politicians, etc. being targeted by nationstate cyber warfare units. It's not all about the nationstate bad actors, cyber criminals use many of the same attacks.
need passcode every time connecting iphone
