pop ups-low on memory-allow access

I repeatedly get 2 popups, (a bunch of numbers) want to allow access and provide control of Safari....The other is Computer is low on memory, to free up some memory please close a few applications. Obviously I am not clicking anything. But this is annoying, and I can't see my screen, or type when they pop up. HELP!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
