Hi !
Having Mail ask for a password every time that you send a signed mail will prevent people who could gain local access to an open session from sending a signed mail — a coworker, for example.
Having Mail ask for a confirmation (without password) every time that you send a signed mail will at least prevent automated scripts (AppleScripts for example) from sending a signed mail without your consent.
That's why I suggested these settings in the article.

Honestly, I did not think about the automated script of your second point. Right on. It is less than a nuisance now as it indeed adds to security - which I missed before.
Thanks
