I am not being asked for my private key

I am not being asked for a passphrase when I enter my wallet in the API. I have managed to "forge" and my wallet now has a balance of 900 million however I am curious why I am not being asked for my passphrase? I'm not sure why this is happening at all. Would someone then on my blockchain with my wallet address be able to just type in the wallet? I wonder where I changed this setting, as I just recompiled and it is still giving this issue. I suppose it is something trivial but I'm not sure where to demand a password be asked on all logins...
