   Well, I told you what it is and why :-D   
      
   And it is doing what its designers, who are not you, decided it should do.   
      
   There is a subsystem to hold passwords for various things and it has   
   been called, so it is asking you to provide the master key. If you don't   
   like it, study how to disable it and what are the consequences.
