Security reminder- lock your computer while unattended

This is just a friendly reminder that when you leave your computer, even for just a second, you should lock your computer. Having the longest, most complex password in the world doesn't stop anybody if you leave your computer unlocked. It takes only seconds for somebody else to access data on your computer. In the past, we've had incidents including students changing grades, reading email, and even sending email from a teacher's account.

There are two easy ways to lock your computer. The quickest, easiest way is to press the Windows key and L on your keyboard. This will immediately lock your screen, requiring you to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and then enter your password to resume.

Alternatively, you could press Ctrl-Alt-Del and then click "Lock the Computer"

Please try to get in the habit of just pressing Windows-L as you leave your seat. This is a best practice that will greatly minimize the risk of unauthorized data access.
