Hello, I have a problem with the passphrase. It did not prompt for the second time when I did the 
pulumi up
 . It actually forced me to set up the pass-phrase when I created the stack.  It is throwing me the following error.
constructing secrets manager of type "passphrase": unable to find either `PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE` or `PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE_FILE` when trying to access the Passphrase Secrets Provider; please ensure one of these environment variables is set to allow the operation to continue

I'm not sure I understand your issue. Just set
PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE
to the passphrase you've initially set up and you'll be good to go

It should not prompt you, it only does so when initializing

Assuming you're using bash, and your password is
foo
, you can either use the password on every command:
PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE=foo pulumi up
or set it for the current shell:
export PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE=foo
pulumi up

if you want to set it permanently, you'll have to add it to your
bash_profile
, but I would highly recommend reading up on environment variables and bash
