Recently my mac has started asking me for a password after I use cd in Terminal.app (haven't tested other term apps).

strangely though, if I press ctrl-C when the passowrd is asked, the question goes away and I'm left in the dir I was cd-ing to (as one would expect).

how can I find out what this password is needed for or how to stop this? I'm using zsh

EDIT:

The terminal asks for a password at random moments, for random directories. Not a clue as to any pattern. The output is basically:

cd ~/Downloads
Password:

I think this started happening after I installed JewelryBox.app
