Scripts to disable and enable password for lock screen after sleep or screen saver
I would prefer a way to require a password only when waking from sleep, but never when turning off the screensaver. When my computer's awake, I'm in front of it or it's at home. It's when it's asleep in my bag that it could get stolen! Anyone know of something that can do this?

This certainly would be a desirable function. I'd suggest trying any one of a number of tools which allow you to run an AppleScript at sleep/wake, and then run one of the scripts above to turn on security at sleep and off at wake. Take a look at one of these:

This script monitors whether the computer is currently plugged in; I use it to keep my screensaver password off at home and turn it on automatically when I'm out. It should be run as a login item. It may not work for you, but it works for me on Mac OS X 10.8. If you use it as a login item, the "MonitoringStatus" variable at the beginning must be set to TRUE; as it is written below it will run once and then ask if you would like it to continue running. |
