Security Issues
Focus stealing can also be damaging as the user may, while typing when their attention is away from the screen, inadvertently agree to a program doing something that causes damage. An example is when Windows pops-up the Disk Cleanup wizard and the user agrees to deleting files without realizing that the wizard was waiting for input. Focus stealing can also be treated as a security risk. For example, when a password is being typed and the typed password appears instead in a new window in an unmasked input field.
