If your Mac asks whether to require Mac login to access your iPhone, choose Ask Every Time or Authenticate Automatically. You can change this later in iPhone Mirroring settings on your Mac.

Seems its an app setting to have this protected or not ?

- iPhone Mirroring system requirements

-- Your iPhone and Mac are signed in to the same Apple Account using two-factor authentication.

This setting is to establish a new mirroring session, but presumably that iOS app install metadata is collected at the very first connection and then cached on macOS.

This is a nice feature of the apple ecosystem to be fair, but I do think the issue is with connecting work and personal accounts/devices
