In most cases when I get a "...has no window" message, its no big
deal and in some cases, the click will focus VO on it. What is
interesting is that prior to going into the Netgear web interface, I was
always able to enter my login password when it was requested.
This reminds me of something that is sort of related. Sometimes when
I open an app, I hear that its in the background. Why is it not the
active window? Of course then I have to chase it down with the chooser.

Hi,
No, Window Chooser won't help as it is telling you the truth. That is,
Security Agent has no windows. A cmd-tab to move out of the app, the App
Chooser, or a click of the mouse/trackpad will usually work, unless Security
Agent actually is busy doing things.

Right, I do not use File Vault. Many times I have been prompted to enter my
login password which started with High Sierra. Always had focus on that window.
But when I started messing with the Netgear web interface last week, that is
when trouble started. Yes if I do nothing else when I hear that message, I can
click it and get focus. It will not show in the Window Chooser so its annoying
when it happens.

Hi,
Security Agent is present whether File Vault is active or not. Security Agent
is one of the activities invoked during the login process as well as when
entering your password after sleep or screen saver lock. Normally, I've only
seen it present itself when I've been impatient. That is, when I attempt to
start looking to do things before the login/startup process after login has
completed its round of tasks. If I wait and don't start window choosing,
accessing the Dock etc, then the Security 'agent is relegated to the background
on its own. If you do however bring focus to it during these activities, all
you need to do is either a simple click of your mouse or trackpad, or try the
App Chooser to bring focus elsewhere.

Not sure when this started. When I need to enter my login password to carry
out a task on the Mac running 10.13.3, I have to do a click on the above dialog
in order to get Voiceover active on the window. Anyone seen this?
