"AKauthorization remote view" ? Did someone hack my macbook? So my macbook air was making a lot of noise. I opened the activity monitor and saw &quot;akd&quot; and &quot;AKauthorization remote view&quot; consuming most of the CPU (50%)+. So I stopped it and completely erased my macbook thinking it got hacked. Does anyone know what &quot;AKauthorization remote view&quot;  is?
It is unlikely you have been hacked. A process on your Mac is likely trying to verify your Apple ID with Apple's Sign On services.

AK = AuthKit
AS = Authentication Services

Private AuthKitUI Framework
AKAuthorization appears to be part of Apple's private AuthKitUI framework. This framework is stored at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AuthKitUI.framework on macOS.
The public Authentication Services likely uses AuthKitUI to provide the user interface:

Use the Authentication Services framework to improve the experience of users when they enter credentials to establish their identity.

Give users the ability to sign into your services with their Apple ID.

It is likely AKAuthorizationRemoteViewService is a user interface element that shows content provided by a remote service.
See jujigo
/
DragonBuild source that mentions this framework's contents.
Given AuthKit (AK) is a System Programming Interface (SPI) – and thus private to Apple's engineers – only Apple can authoritatively answer this question. You should provide feedback to Apple about this behaviour.
