For example, if you leave your computer unattended for a few minutes, it’s advisable that it automatically locks. This prevents anyone from accessing your computer without entering the correct password or passcode.

However, there may be times when you need to turn off auto lock temporarily or permanently. This could be useful if you’re working on something that requires prolonged focus and need to keep the computer unlocked for an extended period of time.
