Feature Request: Adjust timeout for requiring password after screensaver #408

Closed LucaTNT closed 9 years ago

LucaTNT commented 9 years ago

Hi, I've been using CP for a while now, and I really enjoy it.

One feature I'd like to see added is the ability to set a custom timeout for requiring password after screensaver has started. I've tried with defaults write com.apple.screensaver askForPasswordDelay -int DELAY_IN_SECONDS but it is extremely unreliable.

The main purpose of this is to have a generous timeout while at home (say 15 minutes), while requiring a password immediately while I'm on the go.

Would that be possible?

Thanks, Luca

ControlPlane used to do this, but it can't anymore due to restrictions (and rightly so honestly) put into OS X in the past few versions.
