Have you ever stepped away from your computer and wished you could lock it so that only you can use it again? The built-in hot corners feature in the screen saver system preference allows you to set up a hot corner that activates a password protected screen saver.

Moving the cursor to the start screen saver corner instantly launches the screen saver effectively ensuring no one can access your computer but you.

To enable password protection on the screen saver ensure require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver is enabled in the security system preference.
