#Lock screen settings mac
So if somebody finds your Mac and doesn't even know who it belongs to, they won't get any information from the name of the user account and they would be missing two pieces of information to get in to it.
#Lock screen settings password
Instead of seeing the users on the locked screen, clicking on a user, and then entering your password you would actually have to enter the name of the user account. Name and Password is a little more secure but less convenient. So, one is to have either a List of users or Name and Password. Now you also have some options for what is shown on the locked screen. Here's an example of a message you can set and then this is how it would appear here on the locked screen. However outside of those situations at least leaving some message there gives you a little bit of a chance of it getting returned. For instance if you're at school or on a large work campus it may be very likely that if you leave your laptop somewhere, like a meeting room or classroom, that it gets returned to you. How useful this is probably depends on your day-to-day situation. So you can include some contact information, for instance, and hope that maybe if you lose your MacBook and somebody opens it up and just sees the message on the locked screen they can now get in touch with you. If you turn that On you can now set a message to appear on the locked screen. You also have an option for Show Message When Locked. They can simply wake it up and have access to all your stuff. If you set this for a longer time it may seem more convenient but imagine leaving your desk alone in a place where other people can get to it and the display goes to sleep but because you've got this set to something else it's not yet locked. But otherwise it will lock just 5 seconds after it goes to sleep. 5 seconds gives you enough time that if you're actually sitting at your Mac and the display goes to sleep you can just reach over, hit the spacebar, and it will wake up again. A really good time to set this to is 5 seconds. Now after your display is inactive there's an amount of time before your Mac is locked. Note that if you set your Screen Saver to go on in 20 minutes and you've got display inactive for only 10 minutes you're going to get a message here saying that your Screen Saver is never going to actually go on because your display will go to sleep before it ever gets to the 20 minutes for the Screen Saver to start. You can set that for various amounts of time. This, of course, is your Mac's sleep mode. Next you've got how long until the display will turn off. When the Screen Saver comes on all you need to do is just press a key, like the spacebar, and it would exit Screen Saver mode and you would be back to working. Otherwise you can set it for a certain amount of time before the Screen Saver comes on. If you choose not to use a Screen Saver, like I do, you just set this to Never. So the first setting is for Screen Saver. This way you can have your display go to sleep faster when it is on battery to conserve power and take longer to get there if you're plugged into power. One for when it is plugged into power and the other for when it is on battery. Now if you're using a MacBook you're actually going to have two settings for when your display goes to sleep. Then you would be locked out of your Mac until you enter your password again. Now the first set of preferences here deals with the sequence of what happens to get to your Lock Screen. To get to these settings go to System Settings and then scroll down on the left to Lock Screen. In macOS Ventura in System Settings there are variety of preferences that you can set that determine how your Mac's Lock Screen looks and works.
