Regarding:

"Require Password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver"

ANY admin will be able to unlock your account. With Ciao, only YOU can unlock your account.

So in two words: CIAO ROCKS

it works exactly as the author says it does, but it would be nice to have it work instantly at users choice instead of the mandatory minimum wait of 30 seconds before working. keep in mind that the user has already waited 3+ minutes for their screensaver to activate, so give us a zero minimum wait time. thank you.

it's a screensaver, right? so, of course it can be instantly activated.

go to your System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver.

Click on the "Screen Saver" tab.

Click on the "Hot Corners..." button.

Select a Hot Corner.

Move your mouse to the Hot Corner. Bingo, instant screensaver activation.
