An unlocked computer is an open door to your email and files. Lock it every time with two keys.
An unlocked computer gives anyone nearby your email, files and every system you're signed in to. Locking it takes a second.
Lock it
- Windows: press Windows + L.
- Mac: press Control + Command + Q.
- Phone: press the side button.
Make it automatic
- Dynamic lock: pair your phone with your PC by Bluetooth, then go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and turn on Dynamic lock. Windows locks when your phone moves out of range.
- Screen timeout: make sure your screen locks after a few minutes without use. Your organization may already set this.
Good habits
- Lock it at home too, especially if others share the space.
- Don't leave laptops in a car, or unattended in public places.
