Password protected screen lock application

I need a screen lock software which locks the phone screen with password protection. Which means, screen lock/unlock should be made only on entering password..
I searched for many screen locker apps, but no one comes with password protection..
Pls give me a password protected screen locker app..

Can't activate password-protected screen saver

I use my MacBook for sensitive data, so I always make sure to "lock" my screen with a password-protected screen saver when I walk away from my desk. Normally, there are several ways to do this:
1. Wait for the screen saver to come on due to inactivity.
2. Set a "hot corner" for the screen saver and move the mouse to that corner.
3. Enable the keychain menu bar icon and choose "Lock Screen" from the menu bar. (This is my preferred method.)
Under normal conditions, any of these three methods will activate the screen saver.
However, sometimes when I've been running my computer for a while (several days) without rebooting, all three of these methods simultaneously *stop working*. The "lock screen" menu option does nothing, the screen saver hot corner does nothing, and the computer fails to activate the screen saver on its own after the predefined period of inactivity.
Oddly, I can still activate the screen saver by using the "Test" button in the screen saver preferences pane, but in that case it's not password protected, so that doesn't help.
A reboot solves the problem, but this usually happens when I have a bunch of stuff open and it's not a convenient time to reboot. Plus, after a reboot, the problem still recurs a few days later.
I'm not the only one with this problem. Many others have reported the same behavior:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6124716
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1391053
A few of those users found workarounds, but they seemed to be experiencing something different from what I'm describing here. Those who were describing the same symptoms I am still don't seem to have found a solution.
Incidentally, I am not running Spaces or Parallels, nor am I using an external monitor, all of which have been suspected in other threads as the culprit. Quitting all open apps doesn't seem to help either.
The issue seems to be limited to one account at a time; if I switch into another account while having this problem, the other account won't have problems starting its screen saver, but switching back doesn't resolve the issue for the first account. A reboot does.
Can anyone shed some light on this or offer another workaround? Or is this just an ongoing bug?

This happened to me again the other day. Any suggestions?

Any user can unlock any other user password protected screen?

Major problem I'm having...!
On my Macbook Air - both myself and my wife can unlock each others password protected screen saver?
Surely this shouldn't be the case...?
We are both admin - but I would of assumed each could only unlock it's own user password protected screen saver.
Any help would be appreciated.

..."That doesn't make sense...as the login window is available from that password protected screensaver also..."...
The option to switch to the loginwindow only appears if the "Fast User Switching" GUI is enabled in the "Accounts" pref pane. If that option were to be disabled and eg. a user on a shared computer went home without logging out, in the absence of "admin" access, that computer would be entirely unusable to other users short of pulling the plug, which might interrupt any background operations in progress.
I suppose the behaviour could be alterred depending on the "FUS" status, but really, what would be the point since, as you acknowledge, an "admin" user ultimately has the ability to access an open session anyway?
For reference, note that "admin" users, in addition to the "session owner" are granted the right to unlock the screen in the "/private/etc/authorization" file under the 'system.login.screensaver' key so the behaviour can be adjusted from there.

Ask for password after screen lock not working!?

Ask for password after screen lock not working? It used to work before mavericks, each time my computer display sleep I'm asked for the password immediately. Now it never asks for it?

From 2008 MacRumors discussion:
SOLUTION: Browse to Home>Library>Preferences and drag com.apple.systempreferences.plist to the desktop.
Caused by a corrupt user preferences file. On restart, you may find user settings have defaulted. Set up as desired.
Worked for me.

Can I password protect any one application on my iPhone?

I would like to password protect specific applications i.e. SMS and Mail on my iPhone. Is this possible?

No. You can lock your main screen, but thats about it.

Help password protecting a desktop application

Hey guys I'm creating an application that I need to password protect. I've already created a JFrame with components and action listeners where a user can enter a password (twice to make sure they match) and a username. When my application begins the first thing the user sees are these three fields with instructions prompting them to register. Is there a way to encrypt this information and store it securely? Does anyone have any tips as to good practices when creating a secure application?

what's the best way secure
information in an application. Depends on the information! (and application and .....)
Why would you store the password in a
database? Why not?
On a serious note, where else would you like to store passwords? I suppose a text file is an option - although (imho) its only suitable for a small data structure (small number users).
What are the benefits? What are the benefits of using database over text files?
Ease of use, would be my first argument!
Performance*
*this may be dependent on size of the data structure. Some may argue that a text file offers better performance for small structures - I'm don't know.

How would I password protect the MAIL application?

I have never used passwords - but what I wanted to do was put a password (somehow) on the MAIL application so that no one can use it but me - in other words, when I click the application, it asks for a password before turning on. I want this to happen even when I am in my own (admin) account - is this possible?

This is not possible; you'd have to setup different accounts for each user, and then limit their access to various applications and/or files.

HT201413 My iPhone 4's password protection is locked and is in recovery mode. The recovery download is blocked because of the password and I am unable to enter it. How can find no way to bypass the password stored on my phone?

How can I bypass or disable my pass word on my iPhone 4 when it is in recovery and I cannot access the password locked phone to unlock it?

See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

Forgot password to screen lock anyway to unlock??

my sister set a combo forgot it, locked. (she cant read) If there is any way HELP!!!!!!

"WHAT??? Connecting/disconnecting an iPod will unlock the screen? Dear God I would hope that is not true. If so that would represent a major security flaw in OSX."
Read my post again.
Not just any computer, but the one you use it with.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302255
And since this works with both Mac and Windows, it's hardly a "major security flaw in OS X."

Is there a way to password protect my email application on my iMac ?

I don't mind having guests using my iMac for accessing the internet, but I don't want them snooping through my emails. How can I secure the email app?

If you re operating with only one admin account, go o System Preferences, Users and Groups and create a new standard user account. You will have to first create a password for your present account because it will become necessary to login to specific accounts to use the iMac.

Can i password protect/parental lock albums in itunes?

i don't want to make all of my albums this way, but would like to 'lock' a handful of them to prevent my kids from inadvertantly playing them (the rated r type stuff)....is this possible?

Sorry but no, it's not unless there's a tag editor that can add the "Explicit" tag to your imported tracks in a way that the Parental Controls will recognize.
The best thing to do to keep your kids out of stuff you don't want them listening to is to create them their own user account(s) in Mac OS X. You can then set them up their own iTunes libraries with their own music. You can copy tracks out of your own library to theirs, via the Shared folder in the Users folder, and log into their Mac OS X account and drop them into iTunes for the kids to play.

Screen Saver Password Protection - Security Flaw

Although I have always felt OS X has been a solid and secure operating system, there continues to remain one painful, and blatant security flaw. I keep thinking that Apple will address the issue, but they certainly haven't done so thus far.
Explanation:
With any good security policy, and in any secure environment, there will always be a need to "lock" (password protect) a system when not in use. That is, after 'X' period of time, the user interface is password protected so as not to allow access to the system while not in use. This is probably the most common and fundamental security measure in any environment. However, Apple's (GUI) password protection falls short in a number of ways. The only current method of password protecting the user interface is through the Screen Saver. Although at a glance it appears functional, it is a poor design and is easy to disable.
The screen saver configuration lies within two files; the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.<variable>.plist. It is especially important to note that both of these files are located in the users home folder, which gives them full access to the configuration files. There is absolutely nothing preventing a user from deleting these files, and thus, disabling the only mechanism to password protect the user interface. Giving the user the ability to disable or remove ANY security related configuration is a poor design.
Now initially we thought we had a solution by setting the user immutable flag on the ByHost screen saver plist using chflags. This would still allow user access, but would prohibit them from deleting the ByHost plist. Well, it sounded good in theory. However, if ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist is deleted, you can say goodbye to your password protected screen saver, despite locking the screen saver plist. So naturally the idea occurred to me to set the user immutable flag on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist. This works, but makes it impossible to modify the Dock. Needless to say, if the Dock can't be modified, there's no point in even having it.
Now that isn't the only thing wrong with the screen saver password protection. You would expect that an administrator could unlock a users (password protected) screen saver, but you would also assume that the user was logged off as a result. Not in this case... If an admin unlocks a password protected screen saver for a user, they are now logged in as that user and have access to everything the user was doing when it was locked (email, spreadsheets, confidential information... anything). This is not the preferred method. If for some reason an admin needs to unlock a password protected screen saver, it should log off that user, not allow access to the user's session.
Finally, the biggest flaw yet. With a recent update, the password protection doesn't even work, as indicated by several people in the following threads.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2706417&#2706417
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1950444&#1950444
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2648700&#2648700
I have personally seen this issue while developing our corporate OS X image. Despite any fix or workaround, the simple fact that this has occurred is disturbing. ...As if the design wasn't bad enough, it now has the potential to stop working entirely.
Now don't get me wrong, I love OS X and prefer to work on it over any other operating system. Nonetheless, the current design for the "screen lock" is inadequate at best. For a large enterprise environment with stringent security requirements, it's far from sufficient. My hope in posting this is that someone from Apple acknowledges the design flaw and incorporates a more effective solution into the next OS.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

One thing I forgot to mention is that "Workgroup Manager.app" is a part of the "Server Admin Tools" which can be downloaded free from Apple. Although it seems to be primarily intended to be used to configure OS X Server from an OS X Client machine, many of its functions can be used to configure the OS X Client machine itself, in the complete absence of OS X Server. Unfortunately, the 'mcx_settings' aren't really "image friendly" - as far as using them on OS X client is concerned, they are something that seem to need to be applied to user accounts individually (although it is possible to copy all of the settings at once so it isn't necessary to go through the whole configuration process for each setting for each user). I have tried tinkering and applying them to groups, but group members don't seem to automatically be restricted (I may be missing something). The "tools" are available here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/serveradmintools104.html
I don't know if it would be any better than the screen saver "hot corner", but there is an option to lock the screen from the "Keychain Access" menu extra, which can normally be enabled through "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Keychain Access.app", from its "Preferences". This setting is then stored in the "com.apple.systemuiserver.plist" file (ie independent of the "Dock"), but could in principle be controlled from 'mcx_settings' as well. The level of control seems to be incomplete - the user can still drag the item off of the menu bar, but it returns during the next login. However, it does provide convenient access to a method to lock the screen and keychains, and has a nice "padlock" icon so that its function is obvious. It is also potentially possible to assign a two-step keyboard shortcut to the "Lock Screen" item, but it would be somewhat less convenient than a direct key combo...
One other note regarding the "admin" user's ability to unlock the screensaver. The configuration file allowing the "admin" user to do this is "/etc/authorization", under 'system.login.screensaver'. Currently, the "rule" is set to 'authenticate-session-owner-or-admin'. Changing it to 'authenticate-session-owner' would be expected to remove the "admin" user's ability to unlock the screensaver, and if "Fast user switching" is available, the "admin", being unable to authenticate, should be able to switch to the "login window" from the authentication dialogue. I haven't tested this at all in "Tiger", but in "Panther", there was apparently a problem with it (which is why it had slipped my mind since at the time it was rejected as a viable option) - the person who posts here as "LittleSaint" had mentioned some problem with user logins when set up that way but I don't remember what it was, and so can't test if it has been fixed in "Tiger" (not very reassuring, and I apologize). And again, this is a setting that an "admin" would be able to reverse for themselves. Also, should "Fast user switching" become disabled for some reason, and the screen saver kicks in and the user isn't available, it might be a hassle to get back into the machine (it might be possible to do something over ssh). Nevertheless, it might be something to look in to.

Password protecting mail application.

Hello,
I would like to know if i can password protect my mail application, just the way outlook express can be done.I would not like to create a different user
acccount for doing the same.
Thanks in advance

You could make Mail ask for a password before fetching new mail or sending mail by altering your keychain preferences. Either prevent Mail from storing your email password in the keychain or let it do that but make sure that your keychain has a different password than your user account, is not set to automatically unlock on login and locks after a very short idle time.
If you have an imap account and leave your messages on the server, this effectively prevents access to your mail without a password. If you use pop and/or download messages to you local folders, though, anything already downloaded will be accessible without a password.

Screen Lock password help!!

I know that if you plug you iPod nano into the computer, it gets rid of screen lock, but if you forgot your password for screen lock, is there any way to find out what it was?

Connecting the iPod to the computer only disables the lock until you select to lock it again, it doesnt actually get rid of the password. By the sounds of things, you already know that.
If you cannot remember the password, the only way to unlock the iPod permanently and set a new one (hopefully this time one that you remember) is to Restore the iPod.
To restore, connect the iPod, open the iPod updater and click restore. It will take around 5 minutes and will delete all the songs off of your Nano, so make sure they are all OK on the computer first.

Locked or Password Protected Printing

Hello:
Is it possible to print from a MAC using a password protected or locked print job that can only be retrieved by the sender at a network printer? If so, how is this done on a MAC?

I don't suspect there's anyway to protect text files
that I load on to my iPod, is there?
I've sucessfully done this already. The files remain perfectly readable but you won't ever understand them again (but that's a small price to pay for the peace of mind you get).
Looks like the screenlock's your only answer!
