The option of changing the setting in “Password protection on wakeup” is not highlighted and will not allow me to change it. Now what?

This doesn’t work. Still requires password when waking up from sleep mode. No one seems to have figured out how to turn off the password requirement for waking from sleep. C’mon, tech experts! Figure this out!

In reply to S Thiruvengadam. Exactly, this is a direct threat or may lead to invasion of privacy. Only recommended for computer systems when user is sure that there is no harm is leaving screen open (like me when working at home) :)

Dear Sir, Your suggestion is good. But if the computer is accidentally left out in open your security and privacy is affected. Even I will suggest to google users not to allow the mail id and password to be remembered. It will compromise your privacy. Every restriction is always annoying. But on certain issues you will have to be cautious even though the repeated action is annoying. Thanks

Correct it to netplwiz instead of netplzwiz.
Thanks for the tip 🙂
