Just had that same thought
But do non ssd drives use APFS by default?

Interesting. I guess that knocks the thing sideways. For a while I
wondered if the issue was on non SSD drives which are formatted to APDS.
Apparently not.

Hi ET,
For fun, I just did a clean install on a brand new external SSD. The problem
persists. I will speak with a few of my contacts and see if I can get anywhere.

For me it was in fact fixed. As I stated, a clean install and no migration
may have been the solution. High Sierra has its own issues but this is not one
of them.

I have a funny feeling I struck this with sierra and needed a sighted colleague

Mary,
Help us. How about a web page (in English) where this happens. Does it
only happen in web pages and emails?
Did you do a clean install or did you upgrade over Sierra?

Well, if anybody cares, I set my Mac to go to sleep after three hours. It had

or an article, within about two minutes or so, I get that damn announcement.
This is really unusable. I've gone from busy busy on Sierra to this. I'm just
about done with a Mac. If I can't get basic tasks done efficiently, windows
here I come. It's really a shame. Because Apple bills nice machines. And the
phones are great, and I love how the Mac on the phone sink etc. But come on.
How hard should it be to allow people to just simply read things?

Hi,
You'd think so, but, it seems that the Security Server is still called up and the authentication
window rears its ugly head. Try a long time, but not the "Never" option and see if that
helps at all. I've been trying to see if I can localize the Security Server and create an
activity, but haven't made a lot of progress yet. Lots of "nice try Tim", but nothing
tangible yet.

Hi,
What's happening here is that the authentication layer, which is invisible to
the sighted user, is activating. When your computer screen is set to sleep
after a certain amount of time, or if it is set to lock after a certain amount
of time, authentication will take over and require a password to allow someone
access to the computer. If you disable this level of security, it seems that
the authentication layer initially still activates, but it does not lock down
your computer. Because the authentication layer was activated, VO announces
that this window gained focus, and, of course, this announcement interrupts
whatever you're listening to. extending the time of the screen sleep or scree
saver will reduce the incidence of this announcement.

Hi folks,
With my Mac on High Sierra, I am having VoiceOver interrupt continuous reading
on webpages every so often with a text that says user authentication window.
Now if I envoke window chooser, this window is not evident. So I guess it's
hidden or something. I'm wondering if there's anyway to find it and get rid of
it.
