Locking your Mac is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself and your device from exploits like theft, stolen data, or a co-worker maliciously changing your wallpaper.

There are two quick and easy ways to lock your MacBook with OLED Touch Bar running macOS High Sierra.

Use whichever method is easiest and most convenient for you.
