Re: [OS X] How do I...

Another way to do #2 is go to system prefs then security check the box for require password to wake from sleep or screensaver then go to the screensaver prefs and choose the hot corners button at the bottom and set one of the corners to start screensaver. This will then require a password to get back on.

Lincoln, NE		 A neat idea in theory, but knowing me I'd constantly drag the mouse to that corner on accident and go insane.

I thought the same thing, but when I tried it for the first time, I found it easier than ctrl-alt-del + alt-k on windows. Even if you accidentally trigger the screen saver hot corner, you have a few seconds to move the cursor away from the corner to continue whatever you were doing before it actually locks the screen. I have my dock on the right side and the hot corner on the bottom left, so I don't normally have a problem accidentally going to the hot corner except to trigger the screen saver.

Yeah, using the keychain method is much better. It's how I roll as well.
