Not asking for password Electrum Tails

I am trying to create a cold storage for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using Tails. I started with electrum that comes with the OS and created a persistent volume but I've noticed something that I haven't seen anywhere on the web. When I start electrum it doesn't ask for a password, it immediately opens giving access to my wallet. I don't understand why is this happening, every tutorial I've read says that the password is needed every time you open electrum. What am I missing? Another question I have is regarding other cryptocurrency wallets. Will Tails allow me to install other wallets using persistance?

p.s I am sure I created an encryption password and I tried creating a new wallet. The issue persists
