In the settings of the iPhone Mirroring app there is an option to require the Mac login to access the iPhone every time, or do it automatically. This is asked when you first set it up and can be changed later.
I set mine up to login automatically, because I'm the only one who uses my laptop and I live alone. If other people were in the house or it was a shared system, I would require the login every time.
If people are sharing logins on the Mac, then I can assume they are trusted enough, or they should stop doing that, because too many things are tied to our logins these days.
It's essentially AirPlay/Wireless carplay but can be initiated from the receiving device. Any attacker would have to establish a direct wi-fi connection. The new Remote Support feature still requires on-device initiation. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/request-give-remote-c...
