Hi, On my MBP with TouchBar, the Touch ID or password request does appear normally without extra interventions. I recommend you use the method suggested by Oriol, whereby you use the Application Chooser, VO-f1-f1. An item named System Dialogs should be there, select it then go right and down to the appropriate window. You should easily be able to enter your password in this situation. There are a number of situations where System dialogs are present, but not readily noticeable to us, but sighted users see them plainly in the way of whatever we are focused on as VO users.
