Locking your computer is a good way to protect your computer from unwanted users when stepping away for a moment. In order for a lock to be effective, you will have to make sure that your computer is configured to prompt for a password when waking. Once that is done, you can lock your computer using the {{keypress|Win|L}} (Windows) or {{keypress|Ctrl|Shift|Power}} (Mac) keyboard shortcuts. Keep in mind that this is a not an end-all security solution, but will help prevent basic tampering with your work while you are away. | Locking your computer is a good way to protect your computer from unwanted users when stepping away for a moment.
