I experimented with this but same thing. Maybe it does have to do with authenticating something but I did not find anything in Security prefs.

   I use a password to log in. In case that is related.

Ok here is a question. As it applies to the Mac, what exactly does authenticating mean? I do not think I have ever seen a phantom window when I press VO f2 f2.

  I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

What about setting to 40 to 50 minutes?

  Yes setting both to Never under the Power tab dies not clear this
problem. To verify, after I made the changes, I did a cold boot.

Hi Matthew,

Hmmm.  Interesting.  When I set my display to sleep after one minute,
the announcement came after one minute.  When I set it for five minutes,
it took five before announcing.  I did not set it to never though.

Later...

Hi Tim and all,
Even while I had my display and computer sleep set to never while
connected to battery as a test, I noticed that it still said
authentication has new window.

God bless.

hi,

Upon further investigation, what appears to be going on here is due to
the display sleep setting.  So, in System Prefs, Energy Saver, there
should be sliders for both the computer and the display sleep
settings.  When the display goes to sleep, whatever process is invoked
must cause the Authentication window to be activated.  If in Security,
you've set that to require a password to unlock, then the login screen
is made the active process, but if that is not set, the Authentication
window is still invoked, thus VO says its piece.  You could get around
this by setting the Display sleep to be a longer interval.  I would
have thought that setting either the App verbosity or the Window
verbosity to "Low" would limit this announcement, but it did not.
I'll investigate a little more and see if I can figure out something
for you.

Later...

"Secondary authentication"? As in 2 step or factor authentication?
No. Interesting possibility though.
