Sounds like you have something misconfigured with your homing.
I use a touchscreen, and never type on the keyboard unless I want to do
'administration'.
Authentication? I don't have any of these problems. Turn it on, select the

There has to be some configuration option set
cant do anything without homing
I haven't seen that one. Are all axes homed? Do they have the little symbol

As far as I know you always need to home before you can issue mdi commands.
But this as simple as configuring a home button, press it and you are 'homed'
Pressing this button is just once a day when you startup.
