Screen Lock App Download For Pc

Whenever you leave your computer unattended, you should either turn it off or manually activate the screen lock that requires you to enter your password to resume working. You should manually lock your screen even if your device is configured for an automatic screenlock after a set number of minutes. Locking your display screen will protect the information stored on or accessible from your device.

When you manually lock your screen, the computer is continuing to run in the background, so you don't need to close out of documents or apps. You are just putting the display to sleep. You'll be able to quickly unlock the screen when you return, without restarting your computer.

I've never been a bit fan of xfce4-screensaver, but I was messing with it the other day, uninstalled it, installed xscreensaver, messed with it, uninstalled it too, and now find that when I close the lid on my laptop I am presented with a dialog:

I created a new user, logged into a new XFCE session via LightDM, set "When laptop lid is closed", to "Suspend" in Power Manager settings, and enabled "Lock screen before sleep" in the Session and Startup settings.

Setting logind-handle-lid-switch back to 'false' again results in the "None of the screen lock tools ran successfully, the screen will not be locked. [...]" dialog being displayed on lid close. 'xflock4' via xfce4-terminal still works.

Setting 'logind-handle-lid-switch' to 'false', installing 'light-locker' and running it with 'light-locker --no-late-locking', setting xfce 'LockCommand' to 'light-locker-control -l' produces the right behavior, but it seems a little clunky.

Thankfully I haven't needed to boot up Chrome in awhile, but I did recently and noticed they added a setting similar to Safari, where you need to authenticate before it will allow password autofill. On a Mac this is quick and easy with e.g. TouchID. The Chrome setting is "Use your screen lock when filling passwords".

I'm wondering if anyone found a solution for this yet? I've had to manually go in and disable this setting for our K-2 students' computers. The configuration profile setting doesn't let you disable it. It will allow you set the time frame from the drop down menu and lock it in, but maxes out at 8 hours. If only, there was a "Never" option.

However, I seem to be asked for a password to unlock the screen when I come back to my computer. I have spent 2 hours trying to find the place where I can disable screen password locking but to no avail. I am perplexed and frustrated at how such an obvious function is so ****ed hard to configure. This is the impression I am getting of Linux in general - it is novice user-hostile and badly organised.

Let me try again. Could you be more specific about where this system setting is located. I cannot find it under yast->system or under applications->system.

There is a such a lock setting under the kde->desktop configuration which IS set to no password but I think it is probably subservient to the system setting. So, If I could find it, that would be great.

Tnx,

My problem with the screen lock is not cured after all. The lock still comes on after some time, not sure how long, so it may be that there is a second cause of locking that is independent of screen savers and power modes.

You can customize your lock screen. Try changing the background to a favorite photo or slide show. You can also choose quick status notifications to show you upcoming calendar events, social network updates, or other app and system notifications.

If you chose Windows spotlight for your lock screen, you can test if it's working correctly. Press Windows logo key + L to lock your device. The Windows spotlight image should appear on the lock screen.

If you don't see the Windows spotlight image when you're signing in, select Start > Settings > Personalization > Lock screen. Check that the toggle for Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen is turned on.

If you don't see the Windows spotlight image when you're signing in, select Start > Settings > Personalization > Lock screen . Then make sure Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen is turned on.

This screen lock function by samsung game launcher recently started appear which is really disturbing. Any way to disable it? I disabled game launcher but it still comes up and there is no setting on a game launcher to disable it.

In the Privacy section of the Settings menu, I have "Screen Lock" toggled to Off. I walk away, and after 15 minutes, the screen blanks, and then after 30 minutes, my computer puts itself to sleep as I have set it up to do. When I come back and tap a button on the keyboard to wake it back up, I would expect, since I have "Screen Lock" toggled off, that my computer would resume at the same screen that it was showing when I walked away. Instead, I am presented with a lock screen that requires me to enter my password before I can get back to my desktop.

There was some confusion where people think disabling the Lock screen also disables the screen saver which is invoked after a certain period of inactivity. The screen saver requires input to get your desktop back. Some people may want the screen saver to come on but not have it locked when waking up the screen.

By default, GNOME Power Manager supports a simple locking scheme. Thismeans that the screen will lock if set to Lock screen ingnome-screensaver when the lid is closed, or the system performs asuspend or hibernate action.

There is a complex locking scheme available for power users thatallows locking policy to change for the lid, suspend and hibernateactions. To enable this complex mode, you will have to disable theGConf key:

When my screen is locked and I then reawaken it, by moving the mouse or pressing the keyboard, the password entry screen appears. How can I change the amount of time that is taken before the password entry screen turns off?

In my Brightness and Lock settings I have the screen set to turn off and lock after 10 minutes, but I can't see a setting to determine how long it takes for the screen to turn off after the lock screen has been woken. It seems to be set to 1 minute by default, can this be increased/reduced?

I am using Fedora 20 with Gnome. The screen Power Savings blanks the screen after 15 minutes and then the screen gets automatically locked. I'd like to have the screen blanked and locked after an hour, but the pop-up only goes up to 15 minutes. Is there any way to make it an hour?

For my desktop PC at home, I prefer to disable automatic screen locking (requiring password entry) so my family or I can simply wake it up with the mouse or keyboard. Automatically powering off the display when the system is idle is preferred, just not the screen lock.

I thought maybe a good starting point would be to look at what my current swayidle configuration is, and try to determine if there was a simple adjustment I could make to get swaylock disabled. I know there is a swayidle configuration of some sort set up by default, because obviously screen locking and powering off the display are already happening with my fresh install.

Hello and welcome.

This may be a case of the blind leading the blind, as I am pretty new to sway myself, but I think this is correct. Its default settings are in /etc/sway/* and /usr/share/sway/templates/waybar/*. If you add a sway.conf file to ~/.config/sway/config.d/, you can override the defaults there. In this case, you could delete the swaylock parts of the example and get pretty much what you are looking for. Perhaps copy the config.jsonc default to ~/.config/waybar/ and then edit it to reconfigure waybar.

Is there a (fairly easy) way to make the screen blank and only offer the option to type in the password to see anything but that blank screen (or even stay on the original login screen until the password is entered)? I did search the forum here. If the answer is here, I may have not used the correct terms.

Hard reset seems to be the only thing that works, but then it comes back. I am to the fu**ing boiling point now with this effing bug. Please Apple, fix it. I don't want to have to restart my GD phone 5 times a day because the music widget is on the lock screen.

Having the same issue. It comes on when I turn off my car so I think it might be a bluetooth issue. I rebooted the phone, didn't play any media, and it still appeared on the lock screen. Hope Apple fixes this soon!

Update: I reset my phone and went to a meeting. When I came out, the music player was on my lock screen. No bluetooth, no media was played. It just appeared. My next step is to delete the music app and reinstall it. But I think I'll lose all my playlists. ?

I concur with @ankursinha .

You said you upgraded by a reinstall from F27 but retained the /home content. It is possible that something in your users home directory is interfering with the lock screen so the test by creating a new user will verify if that is true or not.

After running some miscellaneous update, my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) now requires me to enter my password when I wake the computer up after the screen saver starts. I cannot turn this off in the Security & Privacy preferences panel - I unlock the panel, uncheck "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins," I get a dialog box asking, "Are you sure you want to turn off screen lock?", I click "Turn Off Screen Lock", and it goes back to the panel showing the box checked again. I also can't change the delay for enabling the screen lock - whichever duration I choose, it goes back to Immediate. 2351a5e196
