Sometimes, for security reasons, you may want your Mac to automatically log out of your area and return to the log-in screen.  This is possible with a Mac.

Just do the following:

1. On your Mac, select  > System Settings.
2. Then choose Privacy & Security.
3. Click Advanced at the bottom.
4. Turn on “Log out automatically after inactivity.”
5. Click the “Log out after” pop-up menu, then choose the amount of time before the user is automatically logged out.
6. That’s it. 

How to log back in:

1. Activate the screen with your Mouse or keyboard.
2. Click on your icon or enter your name.
3. Enter your password.
4. That’s it.
