What is dynamic lock?
Dynamic lock
1. Dynamic lock :
Dynamic Lock is a new feature in Windows 10 which automatically locks your machine if you are away from the device.
It works by using a Bluetooth connection to your phone (can be iPhone, Android, etc).
If it detects you have left the machine it will lock it automatically. This is based on:
- Your PC still stays unlocked for 30 seconds
- if the Bluetooth device is present (that was present during login)
- If the Bluetooth device is not present or the signal is weak which signifies the device is far away (with the user) the screen will be locked.
Step 1: Pair your phone
Before you enable Dynamic Lock, you must first pair your phone with your PC. You can skip down to step 2 if that's already done. On your PC, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
With your PC and phone paired:
Take your phone with you, step away from your computer, and it will automatically lock about a minute after you step out of range.
when you come back to your pc, you'll have to sign in to your pc manually by entering a password.
A dynamic lock doesn't automatically unlock your pc when the Bluetooth device comes back within range.
