Update:...

deja dup continues to ask me for my password, even though  I've checked
it to remember my password.

However, I think it is backing up after I give it my password.  But it
says it's backing up as though it's the first time.

It may be that this happens only after I've moved my computer, ie so
that it has been disconnected from the network for a while.  Maybe
something gets tripped up if it cannot find the backup target space,
even if temporarily??

Title:
  repeatedly asks for encryption password when backing up, even though
  "remember password" is ticked

Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've set deja-dup to back up automatically, and to encrypt files. But it 
never gets far: every few seconds, it brings up a "password needed" window 
somewhere out of sight (behind other windows; but that is another 
problem/feature), even though I've told it to remember the password.
   
  So using this backup software seems entirely impractical; it will never 
finish.
