One of the most commonly used techniques is the implementation of password-protected screen savers. Appliance of screen savers are said to be the most basic way in minimizing a security risk, that too at an end user level. When the machine is idle for too long, a screensaver asking for a password drops in. Earlier people, who criticized this technique a lot, are now constantly implementing this technique throughout their computing devices, which ranges from laptop to mobile phones. One such common example where this technique can be used is where you lose mobiles and laptops, that too while travelling. Mostly such items are considered as long gone and lost. But if you have the patience to deploy a simple password protected screen saver, it can save a whole lot set of critical and sensitive information. Information’s that includes contacts, personal addresses, office data, other account passwords all can be saved or protected using this technique.
