This happens every time I mount my password-protected Time Machine external drive in my (administrator) MacBook Pro account and then eject it when done. When any other account on the machine is entered at a later time, the window requesting the drive's password is displayed and one has to click on Cancel to dismiss it.

Why does this happen?

The password is required every time an encrypted disk is mounted, unless you check the box to store it in Keychain. You might need to do this in every account.
