Auto-timeout to the fast user switching window
Authored by: leenoble_uk on Mar 08, '04 11:16:37AM

The problem with that and which hopefully is solved by this hint is that if your account has gone to the screensaver or sleep and then another user comes along and switches to their account, when you switch back to your account you end up having to type your password in twice: once to switch, once to deactivate sleep/screensaver mode. It's an unnecessary PITA and a bug which I hope Apple will fix at some point.

So, I said ... well, I can't actually remember exactly what I said. But it was one of the most enormously cruel and frighteningly witty put downs ever.

that happens even if nobody switched users. if you set the option to prompt for password on wake and on wake from screen saver, and leave your computer long enough for both events to trigger, then on return you have to enter the password twice.

yes, it is annoying. you can work around it by disabling one or the other option, but i prefer the extra safety of having both on.
