In search of reliable information protection, all methods can be effective. You can add screen saver protection to your computer protection by setting a password on it. Thus, not everyone will be able to start working with a computer if it was already turned on. To block access to the computer, the same code is used as when entering the operating system. If this password is owned by someone else besides you, then he will also have full access to your computer.

Setting a password for the screen saver
Instructions
Step 1
To enable password mode after you turn off the screen saver, you must open the screen saver options. Click the "Start" menu, select "Control Panel". In the window that opens, open the "Screensaver" item, then select the "Set screensaver password" item.
Step 2
Check the box next to "Start at the login screen", select the interval for turning on the screen saver (in minutes), then click the "OK" button. This is the main way to enable password screensaver mode.
Step 3
You can also do this operation using the system registry editor. Click the Start menu, select Run. In the window that opens, enter the value regedit and click the "OK" button. In the Registry Editor window that opens, open the following folder HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsControl PanelDesktop. In this folder, you must change the value of the ScreenSaverIsSecure key from "0" to "1". If there is no such value, then it must be created by right-clicking on an empty space of an open folder, then select "New".
Step 4
If you do not know or do not know how to create keys, then you can use the creation of a file for the registry editor. The program will automatically change or create the key that you write in the registry file. To create such a file, you need to open a text editor and create a new document. In the body of this document, place the following lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsControl PanelDesktop]
"ScreenSaverIsSecure" = "1"
Step 5
After that, click the "File" menu, select the "Save As" item, name the file "Screensaver.reg", then click "Save". After that, run the file, click "Yes" in the dialog box.
