hi, Upon further investigation, what appears to be going on here is due to the display sleep setting. So, in System Prefs, Energy Saver, there should be sliders for both the computer and the display sleep settings. When the display goes to sleep, whatever process is invoked must cause the Authentication window to be activated. If in Security, you've set that to require a password to unlock, then the login screen is made the active process, but if that is not set, the Authentication window is still invoked, thus VO says its piece. You could get around this by setting the Display sleep to be a longer interval. I would have thought that setting either the App verbosity or the Window verbosity to "Low" would limit this announcement, but it did not. I'll investigate a little more and see if I can figure out something for you.
