Why do I need to re-enter my password to gift or resell a ticket?

It's a quick security check, and honestly, it's there to protect you.

If you're signed in on a shared or public device, or you've left yourself logged in somewhere, we don't want that to be enough on its own for someone else to send your ticket to themselves or list it for resale without you knowing. Confirming your password right before either of these actions means it's genuinely you making the call.

It only takes a second, and you won't be asked for it anywhere else in your account, just at this one moment where it actually matters.
