MacOSX randomly prompts for system password
Is it normal for Mac OSX to just out of the blue prompt you for a password with no explanation and expect the user to just enter the password?
Seems very suspicious when that happens. This has happened twice now since owning the MacBook. I know it prompts afterwards that Big Sur 11.x.x is available to download and will be installed tonight. but to randomly prompt you while you're typing up an email and completely disrupt your workflow is a little much.
Are these notifications THAT important that it needs to disrupt the user? That seems like a terrible experience.
I feel like this is a bug?
Even Windows doesn't do that, granted it doesn't ask for the user's password.
