Lock mac but keep apps running and WiFi on.

[wbham]

Hi, can someone please tell me a good way I can password protect my mac but keep all my apps running and WiFi on?

So far I have downloaded 'Lock My Mac' and under settings have set my computer to go to sleep "Never" but sometimes when I return to my mac WiFi has turned itself off?

Thanks for your help.

You can set the built-in screen saver to require a password. All your apps and connections will stay active while the screen saver is running.

The screen saver can be activated by a timer or hot-corner.

You'll find the settings in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver.

(You'll still want to set the sleep timer to "never".)

Perfect, thank you.
