Why do my devices keep asking to trust this computer? I've been backing up to the same computer hundreds of times.

Constantly asking to trust computer on all my ISO's devices when backing up Since upgraded to iOS 6 and Ventura now every single time I plug any of my iOS devices to the backup, I have to put in my password to trust this computer. I've tried, resetting my network settings on all my iOS devices plus installed the latest updates that came out yesterday. I have long complex passwords and all my devices so having to type it in every device every morning when I backup is beyond PITA just to backup each day.

trust this computer I backup my iPhone 12 Pro to my Mac. Lately, I keep getting asked to trust the computer every time I do a backup. This happens both over USB and WiFi. When I first plug in the USB I get asked if I want to trust the computer. I do. Once the backup is completed, if I try to start a new backup I get asked yet again if I want to trust the computer, even though the cable was never disconnected. This behavior is relatively recent (I believe it started with iOS 16). In the past, the iPhone remembered which computers I had trusted. Have others had this same issue?
