Hi, This is an issue with respect to Display sleep and/or Screen saver implementations. What seems to be going on is similar to when a user has their Mac set to require a password after sleep or screen saver. This setting is found in the Security pane of System Prefs. Since you likely don't have this enabled, the MacOS still seems to bring forward the authentication process htough, but it is disabled and therefore cleared by the usual methods of clearing screen savers or waking up the computer. I haven't determined a way around this yet. It's not an issue for me as I have my computer set to require my password anyway to wake it. ET has also been frustrated by this action. Probably, it would be advisable to submit it as a bug to Apple. Not sure how easy it will be to fix, but that's why they get paid the big bucks.
Later...

It says user log in, then has my name and a space for my password, which is dimmed out. If I push any keys on the keyboard, the window goes away, only to pop up again ten minutes later. Only way I could read the screen was with the track pad. Only people on this computer are me, as admin, and a guest account. Auto log in is enabled for me as admin. Anybody got any ideas as to what might be going on and how to fix it so this stupid window goes away for good?? Running latest version of Sierra, mac book air 11 inch, 2013, 256 g sad, 8 g ram, I5 processor if any of that makes a diff. thanks!
