Signing in every time a speaker drops out is a huge inconvenience. Please change this new policy so I don't have to go searching for, and entering my password every time I need to re-add a speaker.

The sign-in is required to link the speaker to your Sonos account. This is necessary to use the Spotify Connect functionality (which I realize you may not use), and will probably have tie-ins to other services in the future, especially if Sonos wants to allow other native apps to be able to control Sonos speakers as well.

If you're having issues with speakers disappearing, you might want to upload a diagnostic from your system after it happens and post the confirmation number here. Maybe someone from Sonos can help fix that issue.
