Turn off screen and ask for password later

[jesused]

Hello everyone!

I'm new to Alfred, I'm liking it a lot.

From Alfred options, Features -> System -> Sleep Display.

When I run that command, the screen is blacked out.

But when I click on the mac it shows the desktop but it doesn't ask for a password and I want it to ask for the password that I have.

How can I make the screen sleep and when I wake it up it asks for the mac password?
By default, if I give it to suspend the system, it does ask for it, but with that command it does not ask for a password.

Thank you!!

Welcome @jesused,

 

Create a new Workflow and connect some input (like a Keyword) to a System Commands Action (Sleep Displays) which connects immediately to another (Lock). That way both will fire in succession, giving you what you want.

Alternatively, just activate the regular Lock. When you do so, macOS turns off the display after about five seconds.
