How to lock screen?

2012Tony2012 · Jan 29, 2013, 03:50 PM

Running Snow Leopard and would like a quick way to lock my screen if I need to walk away from my Mac.

Are there any recommended free Apps that allow me to password lock the Mac screen?

How do you do [ctrl] + [Shift] + [Eject] on a rMBP?

Hey, have you tried using the basic system preferences?

Open System Preferences > click Mission Control > Hot Corners... > And then you can set specific commands for corners.

This allows you to quickly lock your screen just by moving your mouse to a corner of the screen (any corner you desire/choose).

Padlock from Mizage helps you lock your screen with a hokey and helps configure your system correctly for good security.
