Random Admin Credential popup.

[bcameron]

I have a random MacOS popup that has started.

I have tried watching the mail log file to try to figure out what is causing it but nothing shows up.

I have verified I do not have a virus or malware.

It pops up 3 times in a row then goes away for awhile if you keep hitting cancel....but it comes back.

Where else, other than the system.log can I look to figure out why this is happening?

I'm trying to watch the system.log file, not mail log file.

I haven't tried it, but here is a link where someone was asking the same question. It was answered with a python script to see what is requesting admin: catalina - Identify why macOS prompts me for an admin password - Ask Different (stackexchange.com)
