Can't mount my encrypted external hdds anymore

I have 3 external HDD which are encrypted with luks FS and I regularly upload my files to them as a backup using rsync. But today I couldn't mount them anymore. I used to do it directly through Plasma GUI by just plugging the USB, clicking to mount, passing the password and bam, it opened in dolphin... Today when I tried, for all these 3 HDD shows the message:


Quote
"You are not authorized to mount this device."

However I can open and access them through command line, so it is not a problem on the disks:

Code: [Select]
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb backup1

mkdir /home/myuser/mnt
sudo mount /dev/mapper/backup1 /home/myuser/mnt


I think maybe got misconfigured in my plasma installation? Can you guys help me troubleshoot why I can't use it through plasma GUI anymore? Thanks in advance
