I got the attached "Passwords..." message sitting on my screen and have no idea what it means. Nothing seemling happens when I click or right-clik on it, it just sits there - any ideas?

Yeah, just a stuck "tooltip." I get them from time to time. Quitting and restarting the app that it came from should get rid of it.

I closed all apps, even relaunched Finder, but the message stayed. Rebooting the machine made it go away.
As a new Mac user after many years on Windows, I must say I am surprised to continuously experience things like this - this one was not critical, but it gives me a feeling of a system that is basically not well designed! I had expected the opposite, that Mac being a more closed ecosystem than Windows had been perfected over decades...
 
Once upon a time Mac had a great and easy to use OS. Now they bloat the OS with useless things, so people believe that they get a "shiny new" MacOS every year...
