<desc>Change how long to wait before locking the screen in the
<gui>Screen Lock</gui> settings.</desc>
</info>
<title>The screen locks itself too quickly</title>
<p>If you leave your computer for a few minutes, the screen will
automatically lock itself so you have to enter your password to start using
it again. This is done for security reasons (so no one can mess with your
work if you leave the computer unattended), but it can be annoying if the
screen locks itself too quickly.</p>
<p>To wait a longer period before the screen is automatically locked:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Screen Lock</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Screen Lock</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If <gui>Automatic Screen Lock</gui> is on, you can change the value
in the <gui>Automatic Screen Lock Delay</gui> drop-down list.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<p>If you don’t ever want the screen to lock itself automatically, switch
the <gui>Automatic Screen Lock</gui> switch to off.</p>
</note>
