[Re-Titled by Moderator]
The message "Runner is trying to verify identity" on your iMac could appear when macOS is requesting authentication for a background process or script associated with an application or system service. It typically means that a process called "Runner" is executing a task that requires elevated privileges and needs your permission to proceed.
You should be able to get more information on what "Runner" is by using the Activity Monitor.
- Open Activity Monitor (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor).
- Search for Runner in the search bar.
- If it's from a known app, it’s likely safe. If it looks suspicious, you might want to investigate further.
