Excerpt

Screen lock allows a computer when idle for a certain amount of time to lock itself, requiring re-entering the user's credentials. This prevents the situation of a user leaving the computer accessible to all, ensuring data is not compromised. Cornell policy recommends every 15 minutes or less of idle time.

  • Settings → System → Power & Sleep
  • The setting for screen is the amount of time left idle before the display turns off and the computer locks
