The General tab of Security and Privacy has a setting to require a password e.g. 15 minutes after sleep or screen saver begins.
I set this just in case my laptop falls into a evil doer's hands. The disk is encrypted. I assume that with all that, I am somewhat safe.
But what I really want is just half of this or split it into two settings. I'd like "Immediately" if I put the laptop to sleep or close the lid but "never" if a screen saver comes up. The "logic" is that a screen saver comes up when I've left my laptop somewhere "safe" and I don't need the added protection. It is most bothersome when I'm playing music from the laptop and doodling around the house. If a good song comes up that I want to turn up the volume for or a bad song comes that I want to skip, I have to log in just to make the adjustment.
Does anyone know if that is possible?
I know that I can avoid going into the screen saver by putting my mouse in a particular place I like my screen saver to come up.
