When Admin Tools is on in woocommerce checkout is displayed the pop-up login (something like a system window). It is not set on in the woocommerce settings. When Admin Tools is off - this problem's gone.

Something clues to resolve the problem?

What you see is an HTTP Basic Authentication login prompt in your browser. It would only appear if your browser is trying to access a resource (e.g. an image, script, PHP file etc) which returns an HTTP 401 Unauthorized response. This is not something that comes from the plugin itself but from a .htaccess file in your site when implementing a server-level directory password protection.

I suspect that you used the Password-protect WP Administrator feature which does create such a file for exactly this reason.

After re-enabling the Admin Tools plugin go to Admin Tools, Password-protect WP Administrator and disable the password protection.

Thanks a lot. It is ok now.

BTW. The Password-protect WP Administrator is back-end. The woocommerce checkout is front-end. In my opinion - it shouldn't work that way.

Never mind. My woocommerce works properly and is important for me.

I totally agree with you.

However, you're barking up the wrong tree. You should take that up with Automattic, which owns WooCommerce.

WooCommerce's FRONTEND checkout directly references a file installed in the BACKEND wp-admin folder.

This is an obvious violation of the separation of a public frontend and an administrative backend.
