Sorry for the late reply. I saw this on another machine but never on mine…

If you reboot will it work? Let me know so we can go from there on.

EDIT: Also see this Pamac upgrade -a and package manager: authentication failed without even typing my password - #2 by Aragorn - Software & Applications - Manjaro Linux Forum
