VictronConnect Mac vs. Windows (Multiplus MK3) - Asking for password to update

I have a little problem.
When I'm connected with VictronConnect on Windows via USB MK3 to my MultiPlus (2609) I can see the MultiPlus, connect to it.

When I do it on my Mac, I get information that it has found a MultiPlus MK3, and I to update.
When I click update, it asks for a password. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

For now at least, that password is in the VictronConnect VE.Bus manual - https://docs.victronenergy.com/victronconnect-vebus.html#firmware-updates

Is it the standard macOS password dialog? If it is and you have a password set for your macOS user it is probably that.

@Sebastian W. - A screenshot of the dialogue box that is asking for the password would help us answer it for sure.

The Windows version should also ask to update the Multi. Maybe that VictronConnect version is not up to date?
