Advanced users can enable a stealth mode where the lock screen appears as a generic system message, or even a fake error dialog, to mislead potential intruders. Additionally, the software can log all failed unlock attempts, providing a forensic record of unauthorized access attempts.

Due to its limited modern support and associated risks, consider using safer alternatives for PC locking:

In an era where data breaches and unauthorized access are rampant, leaving your computer unattended—even for a few minutes—can be a critical security risk. Whether you work in a busy office, a shared co-working space, or simply have curious family members at home, protecting your screen and active data is non-negotiable.

Ideal for network administrators: Use the Remote Lock Manager tool (included in the Full package) to lock or unlock any workstation on the same LAN from a central console.
