If you're running Big Sur (macOS 11), you will see another popup for the new Cisco AnyConnect Socket Filter. Select 'Allow' to complete the installation.

The original login screen will appear where you'll enter your UCInetID and password. Below the password box, type the word 'push' (without the quotes) and then select OK.
