Upon making changes, as would be expected, Etcher asks for the password so it can get superuser access but it uses a non-standard dialog. This makes me nervous.

You'd imagine it to use the standard prompt like #1526.

Version 1.5.76 (1.5.76)

AFAIK this is related to #2939

EDIT: Duplicate of #2975 ?

EDIT2: jorangreef/sudo-prompt#109 seems to be related too.

There is currently no other way for writing to /dev/rdiskN on macOS Catalina.
See the linked issues above.

MacOS Catalina broke writing to USB drives for many tools such as the unraid USB creator as wel best to grab a copy of windows and do it in boot camp or a virtual environment

The reason why it uses a non-standard password prompt is explained in #3107
