Welcome to the list.
The the password prompt issue was fixed in 0.4.4.RC2. RC4 is currently
available at http://duplicity.nongnu.org/. It will only ask for the
password in cases where its needed.
You did not mention what version you are currently running, but a lot
has been fixed in the last few months. Let me know how it goes.
...Thanks,
...Ken
