I have VeraCrypt v1.23 (the latest version) installed on macOS Mojave v10.14.3 (which I just upgraded). Whenever I either a) click "Selected Device..." or b) click "Mount All Devices" and then enter the VeraCrypt Volume Password, I am presented with a popup that says, Administrator privileges requires - Enter your user password or administrator password.



First, I've confirmed that my user account has administrator privileges by going to Apple --> System Preferences... --> Users & Groups and verifying that the "Current User" has "Admin".



Second, when I enter the administrator password for the Mac, the machine spins for a minute before coming back with a Failed to obtain administrator privileges message. I have verified that the administrator password is correct by, again, going into Users & Groups and using it when clicking the "lock" to make changes.



Any idea what is going on here?
