Rammjet Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Not 100% sure of what you want, but here are two: 1) Turn on a Screensaver in System Preferences. Then in Security in System Preferences, turn on requiring a password to unlock the screensaver. 2) Keychain access can put an item in the menu bar. Select the item and it will blank the screen and require a password to get back in. To do this: Open your Keychain Access utility in the Applications / Utility folder. Under the Keychain Access -> Preferences menu at the top, click on the General tab and then the "Show Status" button. A black padlock will appear in your taskbar in the upper right-hand corner. Close Keychain Access. Now when you click on the padlock, you have a "Lock Screen" option in the drop-down. Selecting it will cause your screen to fade to black and engage your screen saver. Click any key to open a login / password dialog box, and you're back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
