Screen Lock App _TOP

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.

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.

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.

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:

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?

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.

We have server 2019 OS dedicated desktops and the screen lock/screensaver is not working. As I understand it MS removed screensaver functionality from Server 2016 forward. I am trying to get the screen to lock however whatever I try doesn't seem to work. We cannot use idle disconnect because we need users to be able to access their desktop quickly and not relaunch the desktop. I've set the idle lock to 900 seconds and it still doesn't work. I've also set this registry key however as I understand it this only applies to Windows 10 OS and not server OS.

HKLM\Software\Citrix\Graphics\SetDisplayRequiredMode = 0

I've already followed the method to deactivate automatic screen lock as explained in this article. However, when the screen turns off and I shake the mouse or press a key to wake it up, I'm still greeted with the lock screen (pictured below).

We implemented Encryption in our organisation. But, we found that after the installation of encryption trough Bitlocker, our devices lock automatically after 1 minute of inactivity. I understand that it's a great feature against devices theft. However, 1 minute is not really practical.

We have searched through the internet to edit this timer to a more reasonable time. We tried to change it trough windows settings by editing registry keys, nonetheless the issue is still there. In more, we removed the encryption software from our devices, but even after that, the auto lock is still there.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching us. Can you validate as well the group policy applied on the device? Check the screen saver timeout if it's set to 1 minute. We don't impose a screen lock policy on our product since it's all managed via your local GPO or policy on your domain.

Thank you very much, I have checked the local GPO. With the right policy from: Computer Configuration > administrative templates > windows components > Control pannel > personalization > from there you can edit the screen saver timer. But it was not sufficient, after the policy enabled there was a way to edit the screen saver setting via regedit. Here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop, I was unable to access there before enabling the screen saver policy. From there, you change the value as needed.

That's really nice to hear that you have already achieved the desired screen saver set-up on your system. With that being said I will now proceed on marking your response as a verified answer as solution for the issue you've raised.

Is there a setting we can adjust in managing our ChromeOS devices to turn the feature "show lock screen when waking from sleep"? Currently users can turn this setting on/off themselves , but we rather want to enforce this setting on. Can't find any such settings in the admin console.

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.

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. ff782bc1db
