The practice of implementing a computer screen lock is one of the end-user security
best practices. The screen lock can be implemented as a password-protected
screensaver that activates when the computer has been idle for a specific amount of
time. In MS Windows, users can manually block unauthorized access by invoking the
sign-in screen with the Windows logo + L key combination whenever they're about to
leave their computer desk. Screen locks can also be used as a countermeasure against
brute-force attacks as they can be set to block computer access after a specified
number of failed login attempts. The use of screensaver locks is an implementation of a
more general security best practice which is logging off whenever the system is not in
use.
