Magisk's 'User Authentication' feature is designed to enhance security by requiring a user password for all superuser requests when the phone isn't in the user's hands. However, there's a critical conflict with the 'Automatic Response' option. Even when 'User Authentication' is enabled, the state of 'Automatic Response' can be changed without requiring user authentication.

If 'Automatic Response' is set to 'Grant' it bypasses the need for a password, granting all superuser requests for apps without requiring user authentication. This poses a significant security risk, as malicious apps could exploit this loophole to gain root access.

This conflict undermines the purpose of 'User Authentication' making it ineffective as a security measure. It is crucial for the Magisk team to address this issue and prevent unauthorized access to root privileges.
