That's being fixed, the next snapd version is going to handle polkit
auth which is the common framework on the desktop (just entering your
sudo password)

Bug description:
https://i.redd.it/ellp7c7yggqz.png
Some free (gratis) packages require logging in with a Snap Store
account in Ubuntu/GNOME Software.
This is, quite frankly, ridiculous. I should not need an account to
install any software. Neither should anyone else. These packages are
available via package managers with no account required, therefore the
GUI front end, this Ubuntu/GNOME Software app, should not require an
account either.
