Automatically lock your unattended computer with Bluetooth Phone ( or device )
How many times you had walked out of your computer room talking on phone and got scared Oh Shit ! I forgot to lock my computer ? The same thing happens when you rush to a mall all of a sudden and leave your personal computer to be attended by somebody else.
Today I am talking about an interesting software called as Blue Lock. This software configured with a bluetooth device ( could be phone for an example ) and locks down your computer when its not in range and unlocks when you the bluetooth device is in range. It does not ask you for entering password. Simple!!
This is a good solution for places which have lot of rooms and the bluetooth connection gets disrupted because of walls. Like my blue tooth audio device gets disconnected as soon as I move to my kitchen or the other washroom.
You can configure any of the available bluetooth device which it shows and set options for time out , return remembered, authenticated, connected or issue enquiry. You would get a complete log of all connection or dis connected events including if somebody changes your lock device.
This is a perfect solution for people who want to control their computer lock down without hassle of password. Remember you can lock your computer using WIN + L key but that’s manual and not automatic and you need to enter password for it. Here no password no alt + ctrl + del , just your bluetooth device.
