"Passwords is locked" message keeps popping up on my screen

I have tried several of the suggested workarounds I've found online, but I'm still getting that annoying popup.


Not only does it interrupt me to hit "Escape," then I have to click with the mouse to resume what I was doing.


Very frustrating.

iMac 24″, macOS 15.3

To you mean like this ?


It would be normal to have Manually Input the computer password to open the Password application


Though, if Safari is using the Autofill feature the application itself would not be presented


Perhaps if you answer the previous question " doing what exactly? "


We may have a much more clear understanding of the context


Use passwords on your Mac


Autofill your user name and password in Safari on Mac
