Here is a quick 2 minute video showing how to require a password to unlock your screensaver. I also show you how to quickly activate your screensaver at any time by turning on a “HotCorner”.
Quick soap box speech…
You should never leave your computer unless is has been locked with a password. Just like regularly backing up your computer… it’s a small hassle, but it will save you a tremendous amount of stress and time if you get into the habit. Every school I’ve worked at has had an issue at one point or another with someone gaining access to a computer that they shouldn’t have. A password lock on your computer is one way you can better protect your computer and therefore yourself.
